Hi to everyone, this is my first contribution in this subreddit.

I want to share with you my latest project: ToolsTab, a minimal and responsive startpage with useful tools, made with vanilla HTML + CSS + JS. No front-end framework, no external libraries!

Available tools (and relative shortcuts):

• Calendar: visualize day, time and calendar
• Todo list: manage tasks
• Bookmarks: 15 ordered bookmark slots:
  • Alt+click on a bookmark: add/edit a bookmark:
    • name: choose one of the slug names from slugs.mg to automatically use the corresponding icon
    • link: the URL of the bookmark
    • When editing a bookmark, press Enter or click somewhere else to save it
    • When editing a bookmark, press Escape to abort the operation
    • When editing a bookmark, press Delete to delete it
  • click on a bookmark: open the link in this tab
  • Ctrl+click on a bookmark: open the link in a new tab
  • Ctrl+click on the Bookmarks title: export the bookmarks to a file
  • Alt+click on the Bookmarks title: import a bookmark from a file
• Clipboard: 5 slots for copying and pasting texts
  • Alt+click: copy the slot content to the computer clipboard
  • Ctrl+click: empty the slot
• Notepad: Take notes
• Dynamic background: The background color changes automatically according to the day/night cycle
  • Enable/disable this feature from the extension popup menu

All tabs are always in sync thanks to the use of localstorage at every input. It will always auto-save everything you type in any of the tools!

It is available for both Firefox and Chrome:

• Firefox
• Chrome

For the geeks, source code here!
Also, for manual installation, packed extension available in the latest release :)

Here a screenshot:

I am not sure how, but I deleted URL for the website I use for my start page. I meant to make an account with them so this wouldn't happen, but never did. You can add your own images and insert as many blocks into the grid as you'd like. I chose one of their background images, but I know it's rather generic, and I can't find my answer by doing a reverse search. Of course, in the screenshot, I didn't capture the URL. If anyone recognizes it, please let me know! Thanks!

I have trying to do a similar page but I just can't. The page is not working, so if you know how to make it work pls send me a message in discord, my user is pukiun

So recently I really started liking the older look of websites with those pixelated/low quality gifs and all of the goofy bright colors, and I was wanting to make a start page that has that kind of aesthetic, but I don't know where to start with making that kind of thing. I was thinking kind of like a grid of the websites in the middle, and then a clock or search bar or something in the top? I'm sorry I'm not too great at describing it, but I just need a jumping off point. Thank you in advance!

Hey all,

Glad to see this sub back!

This post is more of a brainstorming request, since I'm still trying to figure this out for myself.

I have is a self-hosted media library that I want to share within the family, alongside some other family stuff: favorite bookmarks, etc.

What I want from the start page:

1. It has to be a start page - not a standalone app. I open new tab - here's my start page, plain and simple.

2. It has to be shareable - available to everyone instantly, with all the recent updates. This means it has to be either self-hosted or cloud hosted.

3. Ideally - I want it to be super user-friendly, and I want to be able to have a very lazy GUI for adding more links (so, not YAML, but rather one-click add).

4. Ideally - I want it to have a collaboration function.

5. Bookmark clippers are the closest I've got to what I really need function-wise, but they look ugly as sin most of the times. Notion is probably the closest one so far.

6. Privacy - another optional thing: it's a nice-to-have, of course, so that I could share some more private stuff in a plain view, but I can do without any security - I can manage that at the point of entry (so, local links for the local media access, for example, or google spreadsheets links where Google manages security for me).

I'd appreciate any and all ideas you might have!

After a long hiatus, we're happy to announce that r/startpages is again open to the public!

A new mod team has been assigned to the sub and we'd like to see it return to a vibrant community for promoting / discussing / learning about browser startpages. We have no immediate plans for major changes although we are eager for feedback and ideas on making the space better. Drop a comment here or send us modmail.

In the meantime, welcome back everyone.

Hi redditors.

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

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

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.

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.

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.
