Inspired by /r/startpages—the idea is to have a homepage for your browser that is functional and sexy.
To go to a site, enter the corresponding key. To view the available sites and
their keys, press ?
. If your input doesn't match any of the commands, a
generic Google search will be triggered. For example:
- Entering
r
would redirect you to www.reddit.com. - Entering
t
would redirect you to twitch.tv. - Entering
cats
would search Google for cats.
On mobile, you can click the clock to focus the search input.
You can search any of the sites by typing a colon after the site's key, followed by your search query. For example:
- Entering
g:tilde
would search GitHub for tilde. - Entering
s:radiohead
would search SoundCloud for radiohead.
You can go to a specific location on a site by typing a forward slash after the site's key, followed by the location on the site you'd like to be redirected to. For example:
- Entering
r/r/startpages
would redirect you to www.reddit.com/r/startpages - Entering
h/popular
would redirect you to hypem.com/popular.
If you enter in a full domain or URL, you will be redirected to said domain or URL. For example:
- Entering
stallman.org
would redirect you to stallman.org. - Entering
https://smile.amazon.com
would redirect you to smile.amazon.com.
Additionally, you can pass any query via the q
query param. For example:
- Going to
file:///path/to/tilde/index.html?q=cats
would search Google for cats.
This allows you to invoke Tilde with your native browser search bar.
The above is just the beginning. Open up the index.html file and
read through the CONFIG
!
Feel free to use this and modify it however you like.
