📰 Pageper

Pageper is a minimalist focused startpage that aims to be as simple and customizable as possible.
This Project was born from the need to create a less saturated start page.

The problem?

Modern startpages ship with irrelevant news, intrusive ads, and unsolicited recommendations.
This "bloatware" ecosystem turns a practical tool that should not take too much cognitive load to manage into a panel of distractions. Sometimes those developers dare more and try to implemment cloud based features, like saving your bookmarks under an account you create to manage your bookmarks. This is friction and innecesary infrastructure for one only purpose, not to mention the privacy issues and latency it might exist.

This type of tools are meant to be lightweight and operate with the least friction possible between intention and execution.
Pageper tries actively to mititgate all of the previous problems listed above, trying to help users to stay focused by reducing cognitive noise .

Why Pageper?

• Zero bloat: no news, no ads, no widgets you didn't ask for.
• Private by default: no account, no telemetry, no cloud sync. Everything stays in your browser. (Favicons fetched via DuckDuckGo.)
• Keyboard-first: open any bookmark with a keystroke. No mouse required.
• Themes: eight colorschemes, saved locally.
