Show HN: StartHQ - Chrome New Tab extension like the old tab page, but better

So the backstory is that Google replaced the New Tab page this week with a new one that many users don&#x27;t like: <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=chrome%20new%20tab" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;search?q=chrome%20new%20tab</a><p>Our extension is much like the old new tab page, but with various improvements:<p>- you can add any app, not just those in Chrome Web Store, including custom ones<p>- the launcher is automatically populated for you<p>- you can share the launcher with your colleagues<p>- the launcher config is synced to our server and we have a standalone service available as well as tab replacement addons for most other browsers<p>- we have deep links available, giving you shortcuts inside the web apps<p>- you can have multiple screens<p>We also have something really neat just around the corner, which you can see in this quick demo video: <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/zy8xo0p086ydql8/starthq.webm?token_hash=AAH1d1YM2_i1K7DTyXv7k5K8dDtC74AuXXi7O9I4YnMj6g&amp;dl=1" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dl.dropboxusercontent.com&#x2F;s&#x2F;zy8xo0p086ydql8&#x2F;starthq....</a><p>Finally, you can try it out without installing the extension here: <a href="https://starthq.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;starthq.com</a> - we don&#x27;t require you to verify your email to try it out.<p>Would really appreciate your feedback, thanks!

Suggestions:<p>- Autofocus the url bar, if this is possible. Make the search field the first tab field (it&#x27;s currently the second).<p>- Do a live fuzzy filtering of my webapps, not a submit-based search. This might work better if you had the list of results in a dropdown from the search box (think how Sublime shows its command pallette. If you don&#x27;t know what that is, see the third animation at <a href="http://www.sublimetext.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sublimetext.com&#x2F;</a>), instead of taking over the main body of the page.<p>- If I press Enter from the search box, open the top result that&#x27;s currently showing.<p>These three changes allow for the workflow Ctrl-T, Tab if necessary, type fuzzy search for app name, press enter. Otherwise it&#x27;s faster just to use the URL bar.<p>- You should show the URL of the shortcuts when editing the list of shortcuts, and preferably giving an option to turn on the domain on the main view.<p>EDIT:<p>- I would suggest making all my currently selected apps stored in localStorage, and using appCache for the page, if you&#x27;re not already. If you want people to use this heavily, it&#x27;ll need to load <i>fast</i>. The directory you can just load from a server, but I shouldn&#x27;t have to wait for a response if I&#x27;m on a bad connection and I want to open a web app.<p>- Is there a way to load in your data without redirecting the New Tab page? Currently, the way you have it set up breaks the Ctrl-T, type-url flow that I use <i>constantly</i>, and I imagine many other people do too. I know it used to be possible to take over the new tab page without changing the url - did the update break this?<p>EDIT: changed the first suggestion.

I actually like the new start page, but I would love if there were an extension to remove the new &quot;Apps&quot; button from my bookmark bar. I never use apps and so it&#x27;s just wasting bookmark bar real estate.

This is what I see when following the link on my iPad:<p>&gt; Sorry, your operating system is not supported just yet. The Chrome Web Store is available on Windows (except RT), Mac and Linux. Why don&#x27;t you send yourself a reminder to try it out later?<p>It would be nice if the Chrome store at least redirected to a relevant static info page even if I can&#x27;t install the app. Same for the similar Apple App store links.

I crossposted this to the Reddit Chrome subreddit, in case anyone wants to follow the discussion there: <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/1ncyy2/starthq_chrome_new_tab_extension_like_the_old_tab/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;chrome&#x2F;comments&#x2F;1ncyy2&#x2F;starthq_chrom...</a> - upvotes appreciated!

I have to say I really liked the magic of automatically filling the app launcher. I first nearly didn&#x27;t notice, because it the apps seemed very obvious to me. It took me a minute to realize that this came from my browsing history and booksmarks. Good work!

That&#x27;s funny, I was thinking about doing something like this just yesterday. Guess I&#x27;ll continue working on my Game instead, someone has executed this idea pretty well.

I would love for something like this to be open source. Where I can contribute and create a better launcher as a community. This is a great start. Would love to contribute more.

Is the new tab page only on a beta version of Chrome or something? I still see the old page and there are no updates available.

I have to stay that the daily alerts promoting StartHQ on Twitter are pretty annoying.
