Doesn't have a theme or ability to show RSS feeds but... I built an open-source Chrome extension I call SwiftTab for creating a custom page of links from my Bookmarks Bar (or a folder named "_Swift") https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/swifttab/poikmgend...
Source code is @ https://github.com/joshbuchea/chrome-ext-swifttab

You might like Netvibes. I've been using it for over a decade and it's still fantastic.

Wow, I'd love something like this, but that would incorporate my social media into background stream of super-compacted, mostly-text events. Think of being on a Slack channel (in Compact mode), where the only things that are posted are messages from your Facebook timeline, e-mail, HN stories, replies to your HN comments, new IM threads etc. Also, you could pin stuff you care about, and with one click/keyboard press, everything else gets cleared.
Alas, I don't think Facebook in particular allows for such deep integration with one's feed - because yes, that would essentially replace me the facebook website/app.

Haven't heard that name in ages. Thanks for the reminder.

I just created my own chrome extension, and an html file for the new tab page:

Currently, I have a cronjob that greps my todo files in org mode, and puts the currently scheduled task below a picture of General Sherman.

I've been using Dropbox Paper and you can extend this AWS Lambda script I wrote that uses Dropbox Paper to generates a webpage to include RSS: https://gist.github.com/abhiyerra/7dcd96741cf98a1823da91f32b...

I just started using Notion (https://notion.so) for organizing to-do lists, links, notes, and reminders. It's simple yet amazingly flexible. I highly recommend it.

Google Chrome shows tiles of your most visited links. In mine, HN is first one.

Problem is it includes distractions. A personal homepage would be better focussed on things I SHOULD do, rather than things I actually do.
Anyone know any products / tools to create a simple one consisting of essentially an organized collection of links? I guess any static site generator could work, but would be nice to have an out of the box theme and can show RSS Feeds.
