🚀 Overview

Hiccup is a lightweight, fully static webpage designed as a personal homepage or new tab page, allowing users to organize and quickly access their favorite links, self-hosted services, and web apps.

It solves the problem of disorganized bookmarks, slow-loading dashboards, and dependency on third-party services by offering a blazing-fast, customizable interface that runs entirely in the browser or self-hosted with no backend required.

Built for self-hosters, developers, and productivity-focused individuals who want a simple yet powerful way to launch their daily tools. The creator aimed to make a 'static start page to get to your most important links, FAST.'
