Introducing Dashy Simple: Your Private, Modern, and Browser-Based Start Page

In a world of bloated software and cloud-everything, sometimes you just want a tool that is simple, fast,
and respects your privacy. Meet Dashy Simple, a personal dashboard and start page that runs entirely in
your web browser. No accounts, no servers, no fuss—just your links, organized your way.

This project was born from the desire for a clean, zero-configuration start page that is both powerful and
completely private. All your data is stored locally in your browser's localStorage, meaning you're in
full control.

Core Features

Dashy Simple is packed with features designed to make your browsing experience smoother:

  • Zero-Config & Fully Private: Open index.html and you're ready to go. The dashboard comes with a default set of links, and your configuration is saved automatically to your browser. No data ever leaves your machine.
  • Dynamic Link Management: Easily add, edit, and delete your favorite links through a clean, intuitive modal interface.
  • Group Organization: Tidy up your links by organizing them into customizable groups.
  • Live Search & Filtering: Instantly find the link you need with a live search bar that filters by name or group. You can also click on a group name to view only the links within it.
  • Drag & Drop Sorting: Reorder your links effortlessly. Just right-click an item to "pick it up" and right-click another to "drop" it in its new position.
  • Import/Export: Want to back up your setup or move it to another browser? You can export your entire configuration to a JSON file and import it anywhere.
  • Automatic Favicons: If you don't specify a custom icon for a link, the dashboard will automatically fetch the website's favicon for you.
