Bonjourr · Minimalist browser homepage inspired by iOS

Hey all! We've been working on this browser extension with a friend for the last three years and we've made a few updates recently, so I figured I'd post it here :) We're building it as an open source and more modern alternative to things like Momentum. There's still a ton more we'd like to do and we're looking for constructive criticism or advice, both to improve it and make more people know about it. We're really proud of it and hope you like it. Cheers!

Bonjourr · Minimalist browser homepage inspired by iOS launched on April 28, 2022 with 10 votes, #938 of 2,974 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

In plain words

Bonjourr is an open-source browser extension that replaces the default homepage with a minimalist, iOS-inspired design. It functions as a modern alternative to extensions like Momentum, offering users a cleaner browsing experience. The tool is designed for anyone seeking a simplified new tab page and has been actively developed over three years with ongoing improvements and feature additions planned.

Bonjourr transforms your browser

由于最近的审查措施,中国政府已经开始阻止访问 imgix.com,这是 Unsplash 用来提供图片的一项服务。这意味着 Bonjourr 的默认背景集将无法继续使用。要解决这个问题,我们建议设置本地背景或使用 VPN。 Bonjourr Minimalist Startpage Download Try online Searching for other browsers? Minimalist & lightweight startpage Bonjourr replaces your new tab page for something more refined and minimal. We took inspiration from Apple’s design language to create a startpage that both looks amazing and feels great to use in your daily life. Dynamic Backgrounds Bonjourr uses a manually curated collection of the best photos Unsplash has to offer. The mood of the photos changes according to the time of the day, from noon to the end of the night. Because minimalism doesn’t mean lacking in features,…from bonjourr.fr

    Inspired by the design and UI/UX of apps like Notion, and utility of open-source apps like StackEdit, I decided to create a minimalistic, local-only WYSIWYG Markdown editor. Some features worth highlighting: - Monaco editor and Prettier integration for code snippets - Tables (apparently the holy grail of WYSIWYG editing) - Embeds (for CodePen, CodeSandbox and YouTube, most useful for HTML or JSON exports) - Accepts Markdown paste-in, and "exports"/generates HTML, Markdown and JSON outputs - Collaboration (with real-time awareness and initial commenting system, available only when…

    A minimalist (brutalist?) website for sharing all your links2024 · lynx.boo · ▲303

    Do you remember the internet of the early 2000s? Neat single function websites that let you be creative and customize your spaces and weren't setting out to be the next major conglomerate (or to be bought by them). I'm building a series of websites that have simple concepts but too many of the players have tried to make their product so big. I also used to live in a very rural area so my goal is to make websites that load fast even on very slow internet. I'm starting with Lynx.boo. A linktree style website that lets you fully customize your CSS (and adds a bunch of classes to your links to…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal,…
