A Chrome extension to display APOD images in your new tabs.

Cache image on first load to avoid repeated loading of the same image #1

Currently, the image is downloaded every time a new tab is opened. Should cache it so that images are loaded only once in a day saving bandwidth and the API limits.

Tried localStorage but that approach runs into tainted canvas error as APOD does not seem to have CORS enabled.

For now, I have stored the API response in the localStorage to reduce the number of API calls. Implemented in commit 7cabee06bf9c8217f90b731a7017f1315389ce9a

Sure. Also take up the ISS pass notification extension that we were talking about. Closing this issue for now as API responses and images are being cached.
