I solved my New Tab page

The site is completely customisable, you can create a start page that suits your own style. Initially, I built the site to only work for me, however I wanted the website to be re-usable for anyone. You can now login to your own Twitter/Spotify/Strava accounts for your own personal feed. Everything is stored locally in your own browser so there's none of your data floating around in the clouds somewhere. You can find the code at https://github.com/allister-grange/startertab. Here are some examples of themes in a gif:…

I solved my New Tab page launched on October 27, 2022 with 332 votes, #54 of 3,153 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

I Solved My New Tab Page is a customizable start page for web browsers that replaces the default new tab experience. Users can personalize their homepage with different themes and integrate feeds from Twitter, Spotify, and Strava by logging into their own accounts. All data is stored locally in the browser rather than on remote servers, giving users privacy control over their information. The tool is open source and available on GitHub.

    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…

    Hey HN, I 3d scanned the interior of the Great Pyramid / Khufu's pyramid for the Giza Project this summer and just finished the guided version to share. Would love feedback and/or problems you encounter. I used both a Leica BLK 360 and Matterport Pro 2 to do the scanning and the Matterport SDK for the web viewer. Matterport's web display with Three.js has been the most accessible to a wide audience in the past (previous iterations are in Unity and Unreal, but difficult to download over slower connections). I've been interviewing social studies teachers around the 6th grade level to…

  • Last time I posted this it didn't garner much interest. There have been lots of improvements and fixes since the last release. Quick list of features: - Workspaces - Tabs - Nested Folders - Lots of context menus - Response history - Plugins - Runs fully in the browser and runs offline if necessary - Chrome and Firefox extension to bypass CORS restrictions - Desktop builds for all platforms - GraphQL support - Import collections exported from Postman and Insomnia - Simple user friendly interface I built this because I love Insomnia but wanted a portable version that I could run in the…

  • APIs are a little like the open road—always waiting, full of opportunity, but hardly utilized. So here’s America, composed of several APIs that paint a vivid, real-time picture of a good old-fashioned road trip. Get local classifieds and photos. Tune into local radio stations. Talk wit other drivers. And more. Exploring the country by car was an invaluable experience for me during my time in the states. I’ve since moved to Barcelona, and find myself missing the territory. This is my attempt at recreating the magic.
