Estacado is a start page / speeddial for web browsers. The design was inspired by Orman Clark's latest postings.

Estacado uses jQuery, CSS3 and valid XHTML. Has subtle effects, dark colors and supports newish WebKit and Gecko builds; Safari 5, Chrome and Firefox 3.6.

The package comes with instructions (Readme.txt) that explains how to add sites to it. Basically, it's just matter of writing a list of plain URLs into a text file and the script takes care of the rest.

Update 2011/03/20:
  • Now multiple URLs that share the same domain can have different thumbnails. Reoccurring URLs will be suffixed with an ordinal number.
  • Added font definitions for the search field and the button.
  • If the browser doesn't support CSS3 gradients, solid background color is used instead.


Update 2011/02/02:
  • Updated jQuery library to version 1.5.
  • Changed Favicon's link element's type value to image/png.


Update 2010/11/30:
  • Now keyboard navigation hooks to different event, and works on WebKit.
  • Resets cordinates if the page scrolls or opens in odd location.


Update 2010/11/26:
  • Fixed the small thumbnail dimensions typo in the readme, thank you informing me mattpoonani.
  • Added hash/anchor URL support. Now navigating groups appends hash/anchor to the URL, and if the page is loaded with an anchor, the particular group is shown instead of the default first one. Especially good if you are creating thumbnails and want to refresh the view, or want to bookmark the groups.
  • Added -ummm- better hover states to the buttons.


Update 2010/11/23:
  • Added keyboard navigation. Left arrow takes to previous group and right to vice versa.

Given 2010-12-01
the suggester said: "Estacado start page by *Gocom is a very nice & ellegant start page that allows you to have all your favourite websites in one place." ... you can group any amount of your bookmarks on as many pages as you like. that and the fact that you can add your own website-representing thumbnails is making this a highly flexible start page to be personalized for your very needs and preferences. in addition it's visually pleasing and can be used in many different browsers.

Very nice page this is. One thing that would make this awesome is if you could use the scroll button to switch sections. Would it be possible to add this?

Fantastic, nearly perfect! :D

I've changed mine so that the buttons on top are centered [link] going to add in a button that makes it open random from the current page because I have a webcomics page and I'd like to be able to hit random and have it not open up anything but webcomics.

//center buttons, goes in line 49
$('body').html('<div id="bar"><center>Open shownOpen allI\'m bored</center>');

could you tell me exactly how to edit it? I open up index.html and change the link to one of my choosing, but then when i open index.html in safari, it shows all the words, and not the actual page. PLEASE HELP!

Make sure that you are opening index.html in editor that doesn't mess the actual markup. For instance, you can't open it in Word or in TextEdit as those are rich editors that will change the HTML. Instead it's better to open the file in a plain text editor (Notepad) or in syntax editor (Smultron, Fraise, Notepad++, Coda, or Espresso).

If you are using Mac OS I would suggest opening the file in Smultron, or Fraise, or on Windows with Notepad++. Those editors won't mess the encoding or markup.

Hope that helps :)
