#webportals

Web portals! Circa 2000, you found them everywhere. I'm looking for a modern one.
Or maybe you'd call it a dashboard. I want a visual, drag-and-drop bookmark manager. You know, the sort of thing that lets me cluster my blog links in one section, news sites in another, etc. Maybe with color-coding. Maybe with images or page previews. FOSS preferred but I'd consider anything.

EDIT: Looks like Vivaldi's Dashborad might be close to what I'm looking for.

Tiny websites have always fascinated me, along with internet web portals (which haven't been a thing for many years-- at least in the way we used to know them). I'm talking a simple HTML page with just a graphic or two, and a bunch of links. Something that might resemble the early days of Yahoo, etc.

The idea for this site I made has been buzzing around in my head for a while now. It is NOT responsive, there is NO JavaScript, and there's just a TINY bit of CSS. The whole site (one HTML page) is only about 9kb!

A simple site like this one might look primitive compared to some of the huge, complicated websites we see as standard on the internet today, but this site is guaranteed to work on any browser or device.

I used links for sites/documents that I frequent or use a lot, and mixed in my own personal projects for fun. It's a super simple page-- mostly for my own usage. But I really love the design of it!

I call it 'Mr Beamer's Old Timey Web Portal' 😂

EDIT: I moved it to Neocities! ⬇️

A screenshot of Mr Beamer's Old Timey Web Portal. There are snails with @ symbols for shells at the top, an orange bar, text logo on left, and two columns of blue old style links split into categories dev/tech, games, exercise, Jake's, music, art/cartoons, food, travel, and more
