- kentf 14y agoLove it! Thanks for sharing.
- techpost 14y agoYou're welcome :)
- tantalor 14y agoWould be quite effective as a Chrome Extension: no server to host and no sign-up required. Just put the quotes up on a CDN.
- hamburglar 14y agoHell, it would be effective as a data: url.
- hamburglar 14y agoCan I paste a huge data url here?

- pavel_lishin 14y agoSure, but that's the same inspirational quote every time.
- hamburglar 14y agoI trust I don't need to explain how one might make it choose randomly from a large list of quotes if you really wanted to do this.
- icebraining 14y agoWhat about the ~64% of us who use something other than Chrome?
- tantalor 14y agoIt gets better.
- nthitz 14y agoMaybe instead of having to register have a feature like: http://www.fivesecondhomepage.com/www.reddit.com http://www.fivesecondhomepage.com/www.reddit.com Which shows the quote, then gets me to reddit or whatever
- web007 14y agoThis seems like a much better idea than /somereddituser. Also, if @OP keeps the same scheme with /username, you need to have an "Edit" button. I typoed the first time, and now I'm stuck with a bad redirect.
- artursapek 14y agoI was going to suggest this as well. Why would you bother with a database for something like this? Maybe it's a data mining effort.
- techpost 14y agoThank you for your suggestion nthitz the link is working :)
- nthitz 14y agoAwesome! Fun site, thank you!
- mstefanko 14y agoYeah, I agree with the consensus thus far. To me the sign-up ruins this. Anything that gets this to the point where that's not required, adds a lot of value to your service.
- bmmayer1 14y agoDoes anyone use homepages anymore?
- kaolinite 14y agoYes.
- pavel_lishin 14y agoI use More Interestingness[0] for new tabs in Chrome, and I have my personal email, work email, twitter and Google Reader start in pinned tabs on launch. I have no need for five seconds of inspirational quotes. That's what /usr/local/bin/fortune is for. [0] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/more-interestingness/ngddmdmkjnnefgggjnnnepijkcighifa https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/more-interestingne...
- vacri 14y agoGoogle search is my homepage because it is (er... 'was') lightweight and quick to load. When opening the browser, if there was a problem with my net connection, I could be fairly certain it was between me and the ISP, not that the google servers were down.
- nvr219 14y agoI have tumblr dashboard as my home page because otherwise I forget to check tumblr.
- cschep 14y agoBeen using http://minimotivation.com/ http://minimotivation.com/ for a while. This looks really similar.
- dioltas 14y agoOne problem is https urls don't seem to work properly, the colon seems to be stripped from the input. https://duckduckgo.com https://duckduckgo.com changes to https//duckduckgo.com, which doesn't work, so you have to resort to the unsecure version.
- toxik 14y agoUgh why redirect after exactly five seconds? Stressed out or what?
- raldi 14y agoEnter your current homepage URL ex: google.com (Do not include'http://') Lazy programmer. Let your users paste in whatever they want, and have your code handle it either way.
- techpost 14y agolazy got more lazy :)no registration is required http://Fivesecondhomepage.com/www.example.com http://Fivesecondhomepage.com/www.example.com
- snowman41 14y ago"everytime you open your browser , by showing you quote". That amount of typos is terrible.

- drcube 14y agoReminds me of the BSD fortune program which greets me every time I log into Slackware. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_%28Unix%29 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_%28Unix%29
- wololo_ 14y agoWhy use a sign up when you could use HTML5 localStorage and users put the url and you redirect them.. Looks good anyways
- neeraj_r 14y agoii cannot login. It shows an error page :(
