Themes

You can swithc between a dark and light theme both based on the nord color palette. The theme switch is in the footer witch by defaut is hidden. You can show the footer by scrolling down, than simply click on themify.

You are also free to fork or clone this repo and set your own color palette, i've organized the css to make this as easy as possible.

Keyboard

I've implemented basic support for keyboard navigation with vim keys. By default the page loads in insert mode.

• insert mode

  • you can enter this mode by pressing i
  • in insert mode you have focus on the search bar
  • pressing enter in insert mode will search the typed string

• vim mode

  • you can enter this mode by pressing Esc
  • in this mode you can moove in the matrix of links using h,j,k,l
  • pressing enter in vim mode will click the selected link

I've just started web developement so don't expect impeccable code quality. If you find any bugs and/or have suggestion on how to improove the page don't hasitate to contact me.

This page was more than inspired by wlfys-minimal-startpage.

The icon font used is font awesome.
