Starter Tab

A fork of the orginal startertab that adds docker support.

What is added:

bun.sh support (builds under a minute on an base m1 running a docker vm)
docker support (around ~260 mb images) Note that caching isn't implemented as the build sizes balloon (~1 gb) and it builds fast anyways : P
removed analytics

what does not work:

public themes (could be fixed if allister sets cors to public on the api / if you setup your own db).
maybe some stuff I dont use (open an issue !) remember to set the enviorment variables in .env.local first.

The orginal readme follows:

I was getting sick of the same old new tab page. I wanted to have a dashboard for everything I reach for in my typical workday, so I built it.

StarterTab is here to revolutionize the way you start your day on the internet. With a completely customizable webapp to replace your new tab homepage, you can personalize your online experience like never before.

You can install the chrome extension here, or the firefox extension here and make StarterTab the site that opens up on every one of your new tabs.

Tech

Local storage is being used for storing all of your customizations, meaning you own your data! All of the settings, tokens and themes sit on your own browser. Some may call it laziness that I don't want to maintain a database, you could also see it as me helping prevent your data being in yet another cloud service.

Written in NextJS with CharkaUI. The frontend and functions are hosted on Vercel, the database on Neon.

3. Start the application

To run your startertab locally, use:

yarn dev

To run it in production mode, use:

yarn build && yarn start

Creating a New Tile

Create your new Tile component in the src/components/tiles folder. Make sure to accept a 'tileId' prop, this enables you to change the color of the text based off the settings changed in the sidebar.

type PageProps = {
  tileId: number;
};

export const YourNewTile: React.FC<PageProps> = ({ tileId }) => {
    const color = `var(--text-color-${tileId})`;

  return ();
}

Add your tile type to the TileType in src/types/settings.ts.
Add your new tile into the corresponding sizes you want available for your tile in the switch statement for tileSize in src/components/sidebar/OptionsForTileTypeSelect.tsx
Add your tile type to the switch statement for the tileType in src/components/TileContainer.tsx

if you need persistent storage

Add your new value into the TileSettings type within src/types/settings.ts
Create a new selector in recoil for your new setting value in src/recoil/UserSettingsSelectors.tsx
Use that selector within your tile

selector example:

export const imageFilePathSelector = createTilePropertySelector<string>(
  "imageFilePath",
  (theme, newValue) => {
    theme.imageFilePath = newValue;
  }
);

using that selector in a tile:

  const [fileValue, setFileValue] = useRecoilState(
    imageFilePathSelector (tileId)
  ) as [string | undefined, SetterOrUpdater<string | undefined>];

creating a sidebar menu item for options

Add your new option to the OptionType in src/types/settings.ts
Add your option into the sizes that pertain to it in src/helpers/sideBarOptions.ts
Edit the src/components/sidebar/SettingOptionContainer.tsx to include the new option type
