Hey r/startpages! Sharing my start page project — Launchy.

I wanted something that goes beyond a static grid of links: a real daily-driver homepage with widgets, but fully self-hosted so my data stays mine.

What's on the page

• Bookmarks — pages, columns, widgets, full drag & drop. Icon picker with 5 modes (auto favicon, 300+ icon library with search, emoji, upload, custom URL).
• RSS reader — multiple feeds per widget, featured article display, image extraction
• AI chat — pick your provider (Mistral, OpenAI, Anthropic), conversation history, API keys proxied server-side
• Weather — animated SVG icons, hourly + 5-day forecast (wttr.in, no API key)
• Clock — timezone support, 12/24h
• Search bar — Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, or custom engine
• Notes — auto-saving notepad
• Embed — iframe any URL as a widget

Look & feel

Dark/light toggle, custom accent color, background image with adjustable opacity. Font is Nunito. The UI aims for a clean, premium feel — screenshots below.

Practical stuff

• Multi-user with JWT auth
• Share pages read-only with others or via public link
• Import/export: Netscape HTML bookmarks + OPML for RSS
• Browser extensions for Firefox + Chromium (add bookmarks from any page)
• Choose to open links in new tab or same page
• Single Docker container, single SQLite file — backup = copy one file

Would love to hear what you think — especially about the layout and what widgets you'd want to see next!

After a first lunch I made a new redesign after some feedback and make a rather big update to the whole thing. It's about a new starter tab, but that also can lauche files, scripts etc.. and just serves as a starter dashboard. Give it a look if you like it. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/readytab/ccakmoofmcbcplfaloecafdmpaihlenm?authuser=0&hl=de

Been making myself a start page for awhile and figured I'd share my progress. I named it Waypoint. The idea was to make something inspired by Linux that feels good to use as a homepage... bookmarks, search, weather, themes, and a little terminal to play with. Here's what it looks like..
