when i open a new tab its often to open a bookmark - so for me a speed dial is super useful. here's mine (open source): https://github.com/conceptualspace/yet-another-speed-dial

exactly!!! yes they are. for thumbnails im using webP which achieves much better compression than the more standard png (like 10:1) which enables us to do a lot more with them. and when navigating fullsize photos, using some intelligent preloading so we never bog out :D
i'll try to get some initial commits pushed up soon. u can follow me here, the project is called montage (open to suggestions on name too lol):

i have one pet peeve with every photo organizer or gallery i've tried: they are slow.. especially for very large galleries. if you read the original google blog post about how they built photos, a lot of effort went into performance. so i took that as inspiration to start building an open source offline-first organizer that takes this performance to your desktop (and up a notch). its not on github yet, but seeing the enthusiasm here i thought i would ask what else would you want to see in it? my hn username is also my github username, for the curious :)

to offer an opposing view: libraries are cool. i frequently reference and revisit links i have saved, and on a rainy day a quick browse of them often inspires a new project or advances some existing work. i don't know what i would gain by blowing that all away. naturally links that are infrequently used settle to the bottom of the list and die anyway.
i do manage my bookmarks visually, which i have found tremendously helpful since i first saw this functionality in opera years ago. its sort of like having album art.
so here is a shameless plug for my open source and cross browser implementation, yet another speed dial:

to help manage this i created a "speed dial" extension and use it basically as a visual bookmark manager. the advantage to tabs in a list is that they are easy to reference visually, and like any bookmark can be sorted and arranged into folders. for example i have one for technical references, various research topics, etc that i plan to come back to. and its easy to pop one off the list to maintain them. check it out if youre curious, its open source!

if anyone streams plesk on a browser, i made an extension that adds 21:9 ultrawide support, a dynamic audio compressor (night mode), library shuffling, and links to trailers. its open source and cross browser too! enhance-o-tron for plex:

You can check out mine, Yet Another Speed Dial, on GitHub! It's a web extension in vanilla JS:

i made one and it supports mobile. it's also open source :)
ive tried to solve for this with a thumbnail view for bookmarks on the new tab page:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/yet-another-speed-d...
it uses open graph images so the previews are more useful on a wider range of pages than simple favicons like the native new tab page.
any suggestions or feedback welcome, ama!
