We are private in protest of the API changes. See: https://www.reddit.com/144d5l4

What is a startpage?

A startpage is the page you first see when you open your browser. A custom startpage may have links to your favourite sites and maybe a search box for your favourite search engine

Good Resources

Looking to quickly setup a custom startpage without having to deal with writing any of the code yourself? Search using the Browser Extension/Website tag and find lots of user created ones that you can have working in seconds!

For more information, check the wiki! :)

Rules

Rule 1: Read the reddiquette before posting

Rule 2: Sharing the code behind your startpage is strongly encouraged. We recommend Github but any other form of sharing is perfectly acceptable

Rule 3: Sharing a browser extension or website you've made is definitely allowed. Just make sure to take it as such with the "Browser Extension/Website" tag

Rule 4: Posts must be unique. Please don't submit startpages other people made with only a few tweaks (whole reworks of other peoples startpages are alright of course). Slight re-themes will be removed.

Rule 5: Link to original for Config's. When posting your own configuration of someone else's startpage, add a link to the original startpage to a comment under your post.

My StartPage named "WebL"

Hi redditors.

I developed a startpage to help you access and organize your most visited websites.

https://www.webl.pro/?ref=rdt

The extension is still under developing and will be published soon.

https://reddit.com/link/145s7cu/video/k4xr6fkgt45b1/player

Key Features:

  • Quick Access to Your Favorite Websites

With WebL, you can add your favorite websites to the homepage and access them with just one click instead of typing the URL in your browser's address bar.

  • Instant Favicon and Title Extraction

We have worked hard to extract high-quality favicons and page titles from any website. When you enter a URL, both the favicon and title will appear instantly and be more visually appealing than the original ones.

  • Drag and Drop

WebL offers drag-and-drop functionality, allowing you to easily reorder websites to suit your preference.

  • All-in-One Search

You can conveniently switch between various search engines including Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Baidu, Yandex, Naver, and more.

  • Real-time Preview

With WebL's real-time preview feature, you can see a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) representation of your URL and page title as you type them, allowing you to preview the look and feel before saving it.

  • Search Autocomplete

WebL's search autocomplete feature displays keyword and product suggestions in real-time, based on the queries typed into the search field, making it easier and faster for you to find what you're looking for.

  • Website Title Formatting

With WebL's website title formatting feature, long and messy website page titles can be automatically transformed into tidy ones. For example, the page title "Stream TV and Movies Live and Online | Hulu" can be shortened to just "Hulu ". This feature streamlines your bookmarks and makes them easier to read, allowing you to quickly identify your desired website.

is there a startpage that allows me to drag things freely or atleast somewhat freely, allows shortcuts with no text that can be resizable and moved freely, a search bar and a clock, and a slideshow of custom background images?

i'm basically asking for a reasonably customizable start page. i don't think i'm asking for much, nothing more than what half of what your average android can do.

URL Customizable Click-to-Play Radio + TV / Video Links

https://1-DOT.com/go and https://1-DOT.com/go/intro.html

Basic Start Page - add parameters to URL to change content / appearance

This is a "desktop-only" start page of click-to-play radio stations plus video and TV media links. Lower left (1) plus! or (2) mini icon click adds popular and useful links, (1) lots of or (2) just basics.

Background display is very customizable with your own link to a background image or simplified (plus! option only) with your choice of a solid background color. Button color is also changeable.

Any appearance change is made by adding parameters to the end of the web page URL. So, no setup file or cookies are used.

The 2nd image is a fun example customizing the page by adding comma separated parameters to the end of the URL. This example adds plus! parameter (to show lots of great links) with another parameter linking an external wallpaper image to radically change web page appearance.

Journal startpage - chrome add-on published

Screenshot with content in hidden mode (for privacy)

Follow up of previous posts about journal startpage.

I did not add features since the last update, but I finally got to publish a chrome version of the extension ! chrome store link

This took some time, as the process is not the same as with firefox, required moving to manifest v3, and also fixing some specific bugs.
