Feedback on a better "new tab" page I created?

Homepagr

Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster here :)

I built something for myself and decided to try and monetize it. I'd love feedback! I wanted a more useful "new tab" page in the browser that would make it easier to get to links that I frequently visit.

At work, I usually have a handful of URLs that I go to all the time - email, calendar, my JIRA board, Github repos, a handful of Google docs that have obscure URLs and are impossible to find. I just wanted a basic no-frills new tab page that would get me there. So I built it! https://www.homepagr.com

Does this solve an actual problem for you? I am happy to give free access for a bit (email me!) if you'd be willing to sign up, install the browser extension, put it through its paces, and let me know whether this works for you.

Cheers!

    Congrats on building it and putting it out there!

    Google Chrome already sort of does this for me with the most frequented links, so I don't know that I'm a good fit for this.

    However this idea made me thinking of something ancillary when it comes to sites like IH, HN, Reddit, Email: would I waste less time if all were somehow visible on one homepage?

    My problem is impulsively checking these sites for new/interesting content, and I've been looking for ways to create 'push' mechanisms rather than pull.

    Don't know if this is at all helpful, but wanted to put my problem out there in case it resonates with your project in some way ;)

      Thanks for the feedback! I am not sure that you would waste less time (for me personally there is always a way to waste more if I'm set on doing so) but this does sound convenient. I'm surprised that this kind of thing doesn't already exist, though.
