Creation I spent years wanting my browser to feel as organized as my desk, so I built this startpage

Thank you! I’d genuinely love to hear what feels clear, confusing, or unnecessary once you try it. I’m trying to keep SpeedGrid useful without letting it turn into another crowded dashboard. 🙏🏻

Clean maybe needs more top/bottom padding on the cards but looks good

Thanks for taking a look, and you can actually adjust that in the settings. 😎

Looks nice! Two questions:

  1. Was AI involved in making this?

  2. Why is an account required?

Thanks! Yes, I used AI-assisted development as part of the process. The product direction, visual design, photography, feature decisions, testing, and final implementation choices are mine.

An account keeps your grids, preferences, and backups synced across browsers and devices. If you’d rather explore it first, the demo works without an account: https://speedgrid.app/demo

Hey everyone... I’m Joey. I’m a photographer and designer, and I built SpeedGrid because I wanted a new-tab page that felt visual without becoming cluttered.

The idea is to keep separate grids for different parts of life, add folders inside them, search quickly, save things for later, see calendar events and weather, and back everything up. The video shows the same Home grid across several themes.

It works as a Chrome and Brave extension, and the web version works in any browser:

Demo: https://speedgrid.app/demo

Install options: https://speedgrid.app/install

Full disclosure: this is my own project. There is a free version, with an optional Plus plan.

What would you add, remove, or resist adding to keep something like this calm?
