Most browser start pages are either a search box and nothing else, or a dump of widgets organized by type — all your bookmarks here, all your news there. Neither serves attention. The first does too little; the second invites you to scroll a homepage feed.
frontdoor is organized by a different rule: the psychology of how a person consumes information at the start of a session. The page is a short arc you read top to bottom. You arrive. You act. You get a small reward. You read. You discover. You depart.
- 01 Arrive grounding — stoicism, a quote, a word, a historical anchor
- 02 Act tools & time-sensitive briefings — news, weather, your apps
- 03 Reward a beauty break — NASA photo, Bing daily
- 04 Read daily & weekly depth — long reads, economics, business
- 05 Discover the rabbit hole — Wikipedia featured, science & research
- 06 Depart a poem, a photo of the day — leave the way you arrived

No spinners
Every external source is fetched ahead of you and cached daily. The page opens to a cache hit. There are no loading states on the path you actually walk.
-
No motion
The only thing that moves is the clock ticking. No carousels, no autoplay, no notification badges, no red. Calm by construction.

No feed
There is nothing to scroll forever. The page is the page. Read it once at the start of the day — not refreshed compulsively, not chased through an algorithm.
One real dashboard — no mockup, no marketing render. The clock you see is the time the page was captured. The weather is the weather there was. The headlines are the headlines there were.
One email, one click, one start page. You'll receive a one-time link — click it, and your browser opens to your own dashboard, already signed in.
