I'd like to find something self-hosted or open-source that does exactly what Start.Me does. I am sharing the link below ...

What Start.me does, is allow you to create multiple, private Chrome browser start-page tabs that have an organized set of links to stuff that you use all of the time. I think Start.me is free right now, but I always fear that they are gonna start charging. Plus, you really can't modify the webpage of links like I would like to be able to. And, back-ups are a pain-in-the-ass. Honestly, it doesn't seem like they use their own product, because it should allow a simple zip backup for version control (but it doesn't).

And, yes, I accidently deleted a page of my links, and there was no way to bring it back. So, that's when I started wanting to look for something that can be self-hosted, then I can version-control it, modify it, and get it to what I want much faster.

So, I will include a screenshot of my Main-Page to show what it looks like ...

Also, if anyone has something that they use (which is not even self-hosted) that does the same thing (maybe in Windows or Linux), I sure would like to know the name of it. And, if all of ya'll out there, are not using it; you should be, because it is so nice to organize your links and save them.

Okay, thanks for any ideas or suggestions that come my way.
