Making a start page?

[Melooon]

Iv been thinking of making a start page for my browser for a while now. (Like the first page that loads when you open a browser)

I wanted to make something that was actually useful.. so it should have links to key sites that a person might wanna check.. maybe it could pull in info from status cafe, or spacehey or the neocities recent updates or something..

Then maybe even it could be customisable so some of this stuff could be modifiable and others could use it as their start page too..

So Im looking for ideas, what should a web revival start page look like, and what would it have on it? Whats your dream start page or have you already made one for yourself?

here's one i made a few months back! though it turns out i see it a lot less than i thought i would because it only displays when i start the browser & not when i make a new tab pffbbt (i have a browser with 6,666 tabs open at all times so) but alas!!! i have a weather widget, a duckduckgo widget, links to my more frequently used sites (i end up just typing it in the browser anywho..) and some rss widgets! i have been thinking about giving it a redesign tho..

i've also been thinking of getting a startpage. How do you start?

depending on the browser you use, there should be a setting to set a custom start page url. then i would recommend hosting the page somewhere on your domain (not all browsers support local files). OR, you can use a service like protopage! https://www.protopage.com/

This is majestic! It's exactly what I was thinking with the mix of news and buttons and a search. Its also making me wonder how I can mess with the concept though.. Id like to add a sense of depth, or movement to it.. like making all the icons monsters in a field or something.. I dunno thanks for posting, this is a great reference!

Oh my God cinni that's so beautiful. I think I am going to get inspired today

oh this is such a nice idea! i dont know why i hadnt thought it of it. i had been trying to customize my start page before and had been using addons on firefox like speeddial in the past. but boy, yeah, i should get on making my own start page after seeing this!

I hope it's alright to give this thread a bump, but I've started working on my own start page. I was wondering if anyone knows how I might be able to embed a simple RSS feed reader?
