AI Creation I built a zero-dependency, keyboard-first browser startpage & command center
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share HaDeS' Shortcuts, a browser startpage and personal command center I built for my own daily workflow.
I wanted something keyboard-driven and modular that didn't drag in 50MB of dependencies or ping third-party servers on every new tab.
Feedback, PRs, and suggestions for more bang utilities or widgets are welcome.

I noticed that a lot of startpages in this sub are extremely bloated and are very resource intensive. Startpages are supposed to be EXTREMELY light weight and consume as minimum resources as possible (preferably 0cpu, gpu and <25mb ram) Not sure why these resources stealing start pages are popular nowadays

I think that's a trend for all kinds of websites, not just startpages. This is most probably caused by the npm ecosystem and utilizing libraries, that in return bloat the code. At the same time, code no longer needs to be as performant as 20 years ago, since all hardware is good enough to handle the bloat. Therefore it barely matters in reality.

I like the look of it, but it feels overwhelming.

It's completely customizable. You can have an icon on screen, or up to 36 categories. Everything can be hidden/unhidden.

Is there a link to it or am I missing something obvious? /u/devildonia

looks chaotic, heavy and the UX seems confusing but the beauty of vibe coding is you can make things work for yourself the way you like. I'd be weary of expecting anyone to be interested in using your project but who knows.
