Ha, it works!

Maybe instead of having to register have a feature like:

http://www.fivesecondhomepage.com/www.reddit.com

Which shows the quote, then gets me to reddit or whatever

web007• 14 years ago

This 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• 14 years ago

I 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.

techpost4• 14 years ago

Thank you for your suggestion nthitz the link is working :)

nthitz2• 14 years ago

Awesome! Fun site, thank you!

mstefanko• 14 years ago

Yeah, 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.

afeezaziz• 14 years ago

OP:Why do you need a sign-up?

techpost4• 14 years ago

you do not need to sign-up anymore http://Fivesecondhomepage.com/www.example.com

bmmayer1• 14 years ago

Does anyone use homepages anymore?

kaolinite• 14 years ago

Yes.

pavel_lishin2• 14 years ago

I 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-interestingne...

Google 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• 14 years ago

I have tumblr dashboard as my home page because otherwise I forget to check tumblr.

cschep• 14 years ago

Been using http://minimotivation.com/ for a while. This looks really similar.

dioltas• 14 years ago

One problem is https urls don't seem to work properly, the colon seems to be stripped from the input.

https://duckduckgo.com changes to https//duckduckgo.com, which doesn't work, so you have to resort to the unsecure version.

toxik• 14 years ago

Ugh why redirect after exactly five seconds? Stressed out or what?

bdc• 14 years ago

foursecondhomepage.com

raldi• 14 years ago

    Enter 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.

techpost4• 14 years ago

lazy got more lazy :)no registration is required http://Fivesecondhomepage.com/www.example.com

snowman41• 14 years ago

"everytime you open your browser , by showing you quote". That amount of typos is terrible.

drcube• 14 years ago

Reminds me of the BSD fortune program which greets me every time I log into Slackware. :)

wololo_• 14 years ago

Why use a sign up when you could use HTML5 localStorage and users put the url and you redirect them..

Looks good anyways

neeraj_r• 14 years ago
