# startpage

## what?

a startpage is the page you first see when you open your browser. by default your browser will usually show you a built-in "new tab" page, or your homepage (if defined). i wanted to rely less on browser based bookmarks and create my own method to quickly access my most commonly viewed linx.

## preview

## goals

* create a personal custom startpage
* all assets (fonts, images, css, etc) are embedded directly into the source
* responsive sizing
* keyboard centric
* dynamically searchable
* easily hosted and updated (either locally or remotely)

## files

* startpage.html - the main project implementation
* startpage-nord.html - a colorscheme variant inspired by [nord](https://arcticicestudio.github.io/nord/)
* startpage-static.html - the non-javascript version

## notes

this targets the newest version of chromium, since that's what i use (with some of the [inox patches](https://git.io/inox)). i've also tested against the newest firefox and it should work fine with other modern browsers.

if you plan to use this file locally, you'll need the [new tab redirect](https://goo.gl/cew899) extension. use the `file:///home/x0/dotfiles/startpage.html` address syntax.

the font base64 encoded and embedded into the source is the classic amiga font [topaz](https://trueschool.se/html/fonts.html) - more download options are available [here](https://github.com/rewtnull/amigafonts).

these are not (all) the bookmarks i actually use. i tried to amass a nice large collection for demo purposes.

since there are no external libs, i used `$` to define my dom manipulation functions and `_` for the link library. if you plan to fork and extend this with either jquery or underscore.js please take note.
