Hiccup

"Get to your most important links, FAST" - Hiccup's README states its whole mission in that one line, and the static start page delivers it. It is a client-side React single-page app - no backend, no database, no accounts - driven entirely by a config.json that defines featured link cards, categorized sections, and search providers. The search bar is the power feature: it queries your own links by name, URL, and tag while simultaneously offering external providers like Google, DuckDuckGo, and Amazon (plus custom URL-template providers you define), with arrow-key navigation and Enter to launch, so muscle memory replaces mousing. Editing happens in the browser - drag and drop links and background images, tweak cards in edit mode - with changes persisting to localStorage; a built-in config manager exports the JSON for hosting, and remote profile loading pulls a shared config across every browser and device you use. Multiple profiles keep home-server, work, and dev-tool link sets separate. PWA support installs it on a phone home screen, caching strategies keep it fast offline, read-only mode suits kiosk displays, and Cmd/Ctrl+/ reveals the full hotkey reference. Serve it from any static host and point your new tab at it.
