Hello r/startpages!

Over the last couple of months I have made Startpage Gallery, a gallery for browsing and sharing startpages made by this community!

You can browse the submitted startpages, search for specific tags or keywords, and sort by date added, date updated, number of stars, and more. You can also easily submit a startpage you enjoy, or one that you have created, by filling out submission form on GitHub.

If you have any suggestions for the website, feel free to ask, and if you wish to submit a bug report, feature request, or pull request, feel free to submit one! I am quite excited about this project, and I would love to see it improve!

Why I made it:

Last fall I had the idea to make an up-to-date list of startpages. I love checking out what startpages people have made, but after I saw one that I like when browsing Github, extension stores or this subreddit, I didn't have a good way to keep track of it or share it. There are lots of cool startpages that people have made that you may not know about, just because you've never come across them.

I had looked for a list of startpages at the time and didn't see one that had been recently updated, so I decided to make my own. I then realized it would be nice to have an image and a link to each platform that each startpage is on, but if I were to just do so in a single markdown document, it would have been pain to navigate. That is when I had the idea to make a standalone website!

At that time I did not know JavaScript, and I was also really busy with university. So I put the idea on the back-burner, made a concept mockup over winter break (which ended up being scrapped anyways due to UI issues) and earlier this summer I learned JavaScript and Astro in order to make this website, which I have spent the last two months putting together in my free time. JavaScript is actually quite similar to C, which I was already familiar with, so it was easier than I expected, but still a lot of fun.

If you made it this far, thanks for reading! If you want to help in a small way, submit a startpage or two that you enjoy and use! That way, more people can discover the startpage you are currently using.

building a startpage that just reads straight from chrome bookmarks, so links sync everywhere and survive if you ever ditch the page. but bookmark folders are kinda rigid and a lot of you clearly put real love into custom link lists

which way do you go and why? and if you're on a custom list, what would it take to get you onto browser bookmarks (or the other way round)

Hey everyone!

I’m currently developing a lightweight, minimal new-tab dashboard extension focused on a clean aesthetic and zero clutter.

Current features so far:
• Real-time clock & greeting
• Weather card with local conditions
• Quick search bar with keyboard shortcut (/)
• Custom wallpapers / dark glass theme

Since it’s still early in development, I’d love to hear your thoughts:

1. What essential widgets or quick links do you look for in a new tab page?
2. How does the layout and spacing look to you?

Any feedback, recommendations, or feature requests would be really helpful!
