# Tilde
Inspired by [/r/startpages](https://www.reddit.com/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](https://www.reddit.com).
- Entering `t` would redirect you to [twitch.tv](https://www.twitch.tv).
- Entering `cats` would search
[Google for cats](https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=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](https://github.com/search?q=tilde).
- Entering `s:radiohead` would search
[SoundCloud for radiohead](https://soundcloud.com/search?q=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](https://www.reddit.com/r/startpages)
- Entering `h/popular` would redirect you to
[hypem.com/popular](http://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](https://stallman.org/).
- Entering `https://smile.amazon.com` would redirect you to
[smile.amazon.com](https://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](https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=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](index.html) file and
read through the `CONFIG`!
