  • edi

    EDI is a notes application that integrates with the shell

  • colm

    Replaces Firefox new tab with Markdown-powered columns

  • tabli

    A Window and Tab Manager for Google Chrome

  • I forked https://github.com/antonycourtney/tabli to show the same UI on new tabs as well. It's a good enough solution to tab overload and helps me organize and re-open the appropriate contexts to work or research.

  • domovik-server

    A cross-browser, privacy-oriented synchronization service

  • I have my own system (https://domovik.app/, https://github.com/domovikapp/), which displays shared reading lists and remote tabs/bookmarks from all my browsers. It does not integrate other data sources, but I can quickly access those with the bookmark bar.

  • bulma-templates

    free flexbox templates built with the bulma css framework

  • I just take a Bulma template, and edit the CSS styles within its html.

    If i feel ambitious, I install v/ node, then edit the sass (compiles to css)

    https://bulmatemplates.github.io/bulma-templates/

    Typically:

    1. Generate an express app with --view=ejs (ejs is virtually the same as HTML but lets you inject js into your html)

    https://expressjs.com/en/starter/generator.html

    2. Display & edit a simple html page.

    3. ???

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • TiddlyWiki

    A self-contained JavaScript wiki for the browser, Node.js, AWS Lambda etc.

  • for years now my "personal home page" has been a TiddlyWiki[0] collection of notes and bookmarks. Simple, lightweight and very useful.

  • hackertab.dev

    A Chrome 🌐 & Firefox 🦊 extension to discover the latest developer news and tools in one tab!

  • takeoff

    Personal start page

  • I made my own[1] as a Chrome extension.

    I had one[2] that I had also made with lots of nice widgets like you are suggesting, but I realized that I wasn't using 90% of them, and so I reverted to something simpler.
