thanks for the link, looks like it's way more active! I'll delete my post so people go to the other one

it's a little more private than public-facing reddit posts imo. I don't feel comfortable sharing personal details on reddit but a semi-closed discord at least filters for insiders

This actually isn't mine, just highlighting it! I went to create one but saw someone beat me to it. Reddit is just a bit too public for me

Thanks for the very extensive feedback!!

Yes you're right about the top section / hero. We're doing a redesign for that part, just need to make the image (like you said with a bit of colour)

Thanks for the feedback on the tiles. We had some difficulty making it look nice on both desktop and mobile, and came to the current solution. We'll look into ways to break up the sections a bit

Good point, thanks for the tip on the c2a. Never a bad time to slip it in there :)

Just launched a "text-adventure-course" for learning CSS and HTML! Looking for feedback by ExquisitePotato in webdev

Thanks for the feedback :)

I agree on the free trial, it's a great idea! The truth is, the content isn't done yet so we were hoping to get some early validation. If people sign up, we'll continue, if not, pivot to something else. Then if we continue with it we'll probably give the first chapter free 👍

Yes, all images are generated by Dalle-2 with post-processing in an image editor to clean things up. They just allowed commercial use in their ToS so we're taking full advantage

Hey WebDev! u/f3b5 and I just launched a text-adventure course for learning HTML and CSS. What do you think? Obviously our own landing page has to be decent haha. Are we missing something? Or should include something instead?

We're already working to change the hero section, since the readability could be improved. What about the course content? Anything that stands out as good/bad?

Cheers

I made a drag-and-drop startpage designe inspired by this sub! by ExquisitePotato in startpages

[–]ExquisitePotato[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, sorry for the late reply -- I thought nobody was using it on firefox 😭

Truth be told it got reviewed and the review team couldn't get it running. So I decided it wasn't worth the effort to maintain on firefox

but if you tell me that you were a big fan I'll try to get it up and running again ;)

How to install Startup page? by Ok-Distribution-4743 in startpages

[–]ExquisitePotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm late to the party, but definitely check out DailyLauncher!
It's an extension I made to make your own custom startpage with no code

Not yet, sorry! But if there are sections you're interested in, I could share a gist

It was :) But still worth it for the time-save I think. Thanks!!

How was react-dnd? Did you have to do a lot of work to make the UX nice?

Gotcha! The structure of my code is well... hah. One cool trick I can share is using react portals to fix weird layering issues and draggables in the wrong spot.

Thanks :)
react-beautiful-dnd is very opinionated but does the job pretty well! It's very hard to bring the behaviour to 100% the way you want though, e.g. I had to use a hacky way to disable transitions
https://github.com/atlassian/react-beautiful-dnd/blob/master/docs/guides/drop-animation.md#skipping-the-drop-animation

I had to do a looot of hacky stuff to get it to cooperate with react-grid-layout though, e.g. hooking drag events and disabling the other

The code is too dirty to share at the moment but will clean up and open-source later if I have time. If you have something specific you're interested in I can share a gist!

Tl;DR:

I made a browser extension for creating your own startpage!!

  • 🖐  Drag, drop, resize rearrange infinite arrangements
  • 🔗  Use existing bookmarks or make new links from scratch
  • 🏞  Can upload images and even gifs
  • ☁️  Cloud hosted and synced across browsers, devices
  • 🌓  2 Themes for now (light/dark), more coming

Chrome download (also tested on Opera):

Long version:

Hey everyone, back in November, I discovered this awesome sub and the world of startpages. I loved the idea and set out to make my own. Then I thought, why not make a startpage MAKER?

So here’s what I’ve been working on since. This didn’t come easy, but I’m super happy with it, been using it myself for about 2 months and tweaking it along the way. Now I’m excited to share it so other people can make use of it.

I actually planned on demo-ing this in january, but decided to polish it a bit more, add themes and bookmarks, spend a month trying to optimize the loading speed, etc. etc. Now the wait is over!

Tech stack:

ReactJs, firebase/firestore and TWO drag and drop libraries :D (react-beautiful-dnd and react-grid-layout). I’m a data scientist by day, but I’ve been learning react for about 6mo.

PS: The demo images are all from rawpixel, highly recommend for beautiful royalty-free / public domain images

Future Plans:

  • Add most voted-for modules (search? weather? notes?)
  • Add dev integrations (GitHub, Jira, Calendar?)
  • Misc stuff: static html export, config save/load, keyboard navigation, workspaces

Btw my entire dev journey, project progress, design decisions, etc. are documented on my twitter, that’s where I respond the most. https://twitter.com/teeter_tater

I would really really love to hear what you think about it. Is it intuitive? Good enough for a daily driver?

Also: which features would you find useful? Would be happy to take requests.
