I also run a customizable start page http://myfav.es http://myfav.es
its cost $100/month for 10 years to run but i keep it up because a lot of schools use it to help set up their shared computers and i couldn’t ever have the heart to shut it down.
Once you set it up you can also run it entirely offline using app manifests from myfav.es/fast if you don’t like the idea of your new tab experience being slowed down by web requests.
- sph 4y agoWhy so expensive?
- oars 4y agoA software engineer who makes $100,000 a year, working 40 hours a week, for 52 weeks, makes about $50/hour. If this person is spending 2 hours of their time each month maintaining this website (which they gain nothing out of) that's $100/month.
- ksala_ 4y agoI very much doubt they where talking about this, and where instead referring to their hosting costs.
- mosselman 4y agoI detest this meme where supposedly every hour you have is translatable to money. It isn't as if you can sell every hour of your time whenever you feel like it. If it were that way, you'd be able to say: "I pay $1500+ for going to the toilet each month": > A software engineer who makes $100,000 a year, working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, makes about $50/hour. So let's say 1 hour of toilet time per day on average, so: 30 * 50 = 1500. What nonsense.
- someweirdperson 4y ago> "I pay $1500+ for going to the toilet each month" It's a little less (I don't need that long), but most importantly, my boss is paying for most of that.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoDon't shit where you eat? Instead, shit where you work? Makes sense ;)
- detaro 4y agoI think the saying is "Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I poop on company time."
- ilyt 4y agoOn top of that who on earth would price their free time at same as they do their job? My free time is 2-4x the job
- softwarebeware 4y ago> I detest this meme where supposedly every hour you have is translatable to money. > It isn't as if you can sell every hour of your time whenever you feel like it. Yes, but a public good has costs whether or not you want to acknowledge them.
- fazfq 4y agoCertainly not because of maintenance costs since he's still running PHP 5.5
- ghostly_s 4y agoIs this not the exact same feature-set the browser's built-in 'start pages' already provide?
- robofanatic 4y agohow much do you make out of it?

- easrng 4y agoDo browsers even support app manifests anymore? I thought they'd abandoned them in favor of service workers.
