add-url-to-window-title VS yet-another-speed-dial

ive mainly been using keepassxc for a few years which is not too ugly i don't think, but have been trying out keeweb recently which is a lot more minimal.

a neat feature with keepass is autotype. i have mine set to alt+x so its easy to activate and using the "add url to window title" extension means there's no connection between your vault and the browser.

another idea i had recently was to create a second vault for passwords that aren't that important. so now they majority of my passwords are in that and the vault master password is shorter so its quicker to type, while anything important goes in my main vault which has a stronger password. its great not having to type a really long password just to unlock my vault so i can log into some random forum! and it also means im less paranoid about leaving the vault unlocked.

> another downside with auto-type is that not all websites put their full names in the browser title bar so auto-type won't show you your related passwords in some cases. to fix that you can install a browser extension that puts the full web url in titlebar https://github.com/erichgoldman/add-url-to-window-title

Instead of modifying the browser title, I use AutoTypeSearch plugin for Keepass, that opens a dialog allowing me to suggest entries in case of no matches.

There is also another plugin that allows search using both URL and title -- "WebAutoType".

These two plugins together make the Keepass experience almost seamless.

to help manage this i created a "speed dial" extension and use it basically as a visual bookmark manager. the advantage to tabs in a list is that they are easy to reference visually, and like any bookmark can be sorted and arranged into folders. so i have on for technical references, various research topics, etc that i plan to come back to. and its easy to pop one off the list to maintain them. check it out if youre curious, its open source:

Show HN: Yet Another Speed Dial - An open source new tab page

I made an open source, cross-browser new tab page inspired by the Speed Dial in Opera.

It also works great as a bookmarks manager because it gives you visual thumbnails for bookmarks instead of just a list. When you bookmark a site, just choose the Speed Dial folder (or one of its subfolders) and you'll automatically get a screenshot, favicon, or open graph image as a thubmnail.

They can be sorted easily with drag and drop, and since they are just bookmarks under the hood you don't need to worry about the extension locking you in.

If you're like me and still use lots of bookmarks, give it a try. Happy to hear your feedback HN!

that's the inspiration for my browser extension, Yet Another Speed Dial. it works as the new tab page but basically i use it as a visual bookmark manager. i find it way easier to scan my bookmarks as thumbnails to find what i want. it's open source and supports all the major browsers, check it out!

i'm working on this as a browser extension. to get my feet wet i created Yet Another Speed Dial (https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial) which many people find useful, but the end goal is to apply the same kind of richness to all bookmarks and history
