glide

a modular but comfy startpage for many scenarios

features:

fully modular layout! combine options to create your own unique startpage layout!
2/3 columns, search, image, clock, category labels, greeting
drag and drop link editor! visual settings!
image carousel option
rosebox color scheme & ability to customize color scheme
saving to localstorage, importing and exporting of settings
instant load/startup (looking at you, nightTab)
click bottom right ◐ to toggle the visibility of the image
click bottom left ⚙ to open the settings popup

installation (chrome / chromium)

I included a simple manifest.json so you can import it as a chrome extension.
just clone this repo and load unpacked extension. (you have to enable developer mode)

you can also install this in firefox or any browser, just set the index.html to your new tab page / create an addon which replaces the new tab page with this index.html

custom images

if you want a custom image, put it in the img folder. the image should be either a standard portrait image (good for left image) or a wide slice/landscape image (good for top image).

After you put it in the img folder you can just change the image path in settings to the filename (don't add img/)

custom css: you can create a custom.css to apply custom css (wow, unheard of)

thanks to:

this startpage for inspiration & original html/css boilerplate

i do not own most of the included images. I will provide credit/remove from the repo if requested.

libraries used:

object-observer to automatically update layout when object changes - repo
sortablejs to enable drag and drop reordering of links - repo
circle-assign to enable deep object assigning (i can't believe js does not have it by default) tinydate super small date formatting library (modified to fit startpage's needs)
