Tilde

Inspired by /r/startpages—the idea is to have a homepage for your browser that is functional and sexy.

Usage

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.

Searching

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.

Specific Locations

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.

URL Redirects

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.

Query Paramater

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.

Configuration

The above is just the beginning. Open up the index.html file and read through the CONFIG!
