A simple, customisable startpage/homepage.
Clone the repository or download the zip.
Download an extension that lets you change the newtab page, then just add the
path to index.html as the URL, e.g.:
file:///home/yuki/startpage/index.html or
file:///c:/startpage/index.html
If you're using an older version of Firefox you can simply change
browser.newtab.url in about:config.
Download the .crx file from the
latest release and open
it with Chrome.
If a .crx file for a release isn't available or you want to use the latest
version on github you will have to
download
the manifest.json for the startpage and save it in the same directory as the
startpage. Go to Chrome's extension menu, enable developer mode, click on
"load unpacked extension" and select the folder you saved the startage in.
The startpage can be configured by using a configuration file or by using a
built-in menu.
If you're using some sort of private/incognito mode in your browser the
configuration will not be saved and has to be loaded from config.json
every time the page is reloaded. To prevent the configuration menu from
appearing every time you load the page you will have to set privateMode
to true in config.json.
When first opening the startpage you can choose to load the configuration from
the config.json file or configure the page by using the configuration
menu. Choose whatever you like, you will be able to change this later.
Because of the way the configuration menu saves data, moving the startpage's directory to a different location will result in it not being able to load the config. Moving it back should fix it. You can export the configuration as a JSON file in the menu, then move the directory and load the file.
