Minimal Startpage

Just another minimal startpage for browsers.

How to Use

  • Clone the repo

    git clone https://github.com/deepjyoti30/startpage
    

    Alternately, you can download and extract from the browser.

Chrome

  • On chrome, open extensions from the tool menu or open it from chrome://extensions.
  • Click on load unpacked, navigate to the directory where you cloned the repo and select it.

Firefox (temporary)

  • Open about:debugging from your Firefox browser.
  • Click on This Firefox and select Load Temporary Add On...
  • Open the cloned repo directory and select any file there (preferrably manifest.json)
  • It should be installed.

Upcoming

Will be availabe on Firefox and Chrome add on stores in a while.

I thought I would work on adding a settings page that would handle the updating the settings but I'm just way to bored and honestly I've come to realize I hate GUI's (I mean I've always loved CLI based apps). Anyway, the extension can still be used and I'm sure the crowd I aimed this extension at knows how to edit a json file, for the time being I'll just let you guys install it and use it and edit the settings from the config.

Settings

You can edit the settings by writing --setting in the search bar and clicking enter.

A JSON editor will open up where you can make the changes.
