homepage.py - simple homepage generator

I've been asked several times about my start page, so here it is...

homepage.py is a simple homepage generator.

Links:

• AUR

• Homepage

• GitHub

Configuration:

• Recent homepage.py version has support for configuration file (at ~/.config/homepage/homepage.conf).
  You can use this as a template:

  import os
  
  output_dir = os.environ['HOME']
  title = 'Speed Dial'
  font = ('Monospace', '12pt')
  separator = '>'
  colors = (
      '#020202',  # background
      '#999999',  # links
      '#B3B3B3',  # group title
      '#4C4C4C',  # separator
  )
  links = {
      'search': [
          ['google', 'https://www.google.com/'],
          ['duckduckgo', 'http://duckduckgo.com/'],
          ['startpage', 'https://startpage.com/'],
      ],
      'media': [
          ['youtube', 'http://www.youtube.com/'],
      ],
      'foo': [
          ['wikipedia', 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page'],
          ['wallbase', 'http://wallbase.cc/home'],
      ],
  }

• Run

  $ homepage.py

  and then you can set the generated page as a home page in your browser.

For more details, see man homepage.py

If you have any feature requests do let me know

Looks very nice, however, the entries on the page are not ordered the same way as in the config file.

There are two types of people in this world - those who can count to 10 by using their fingers, and those who can count to 1023.

Currently, the groups and entries are always sorted alphabetically. It would be easy to make it optional. I don't have time to do it right now, though.

Ah, I see. I will look at the code myself when I have time. I already started using it and really like it.
