Fluidity
Fluidity uses an accordion-based design for a browser start page, presented by its creator as a customizable personal project.
About Fluidity
Fluidity is an open-source start page for a web browser that organizes links in an accordion layout. It is a personal project published on GitHub under the MIT license, with a hosted demo, screenshots and a video showcase. Users apply it as a new-tab page, either by pointing a New Tab Override plugin at the hosted URL or by loading a local copy of the files.
The project can be self-hosted: the repository includes a Dockerfile that builds the app and serves it through nginx on port 8080, and the source can be cloned and hosted on a personal GitHub Pages site. The code is written in React and TypeScript, so changing defaults or appearance requires editing the project and rebuilding it. Community themes can be submitted to the author.

Fluidity FAQ
How do I use Fluidity as my browser start page?
Download a New Tab Override plugin, open its settings, and paste the hosted page URL into the text field. Alternatively, load the local index.html file from a downloaded copy of the repository.
Can I run Fluidity on my own machine or server?
Yes. You can clone the repository files from the gh-pages branch and point the plugin at the local index.html, or build the provided Dockerfile and run the container, which serves the app through nginx on port 8080.
Can I change how the start page looks or which links it shows?
The project is built with React and TypeScript. Clone the repository, install dependencies with npm i, edit the default values in /src/data/data.ts, and then run npm run build to produce the bundled files in the /dist/ folder.
