What Starbase 80 actually does
Starbase 80 provides a self-hosted personal homepage featuring an application grid arranged similarly to an iPad layout. It is designed to run across both mobile and desktop screens, relying entirely on a single JSON file for configuration.
Best fit: It suits users who want a minimalist, touch-friendly starting page for their browser and prefer managing their shortcuts and links through a straightforward flat file rather than a database.
Worth knowing: The lack of tagged releases and low maintenance score suggest that tracking upstream fixes or expecting rapid updates may be risky for long-term deployments.
Deployment notes
Since it runs via Docker and reads configuration from a flat file, you will typically need to mount a local volume for your JSON file to persist changes across container restarts.
