Thanks for the shout-out @sag@ani.social

A bit swamped right now, but in my head I’m planning on re-implementing gohug in vuejs and open sourcing the code. The current version was just a weekend hack when I was overjoyed with the change in our thinking that !BuyEuropean@feddit.uk and similar communities are bringing.

Would love to add more functionality like a fully customizable and theme-able speed-dial, search engines, lemmy and mastodon feeds, etc.

Not sure if anybody is interested in a liberated start page though. Will push it forward anyway, for personal use at least. But maybe at glacial pace 😅

Mostly subscribed to GitHub repo release feeds. To know which software has updates.

Also some blogs from companies I am interested in.

You are right. I think I read that wrong. I thought automatic segment skipping like YouTube SponsorBlock. You definitely can fast forward using buttons.

[…] Battery life: I’m really excited that battery life will be increased from 7 days to 1 month! This is due to massive improvements in Bluetooth chip power efficiency over the last 10 years. […]

Don’t love the closed-in ecosystem but Garmin watches with MIP display do almost all you just said.

• Touch screen + also Buttons for 100% touch-free interaction
• Battery life of around 3 to 4 weeks (depending on what you are doing)… more with the Solar models
• Media control is there, but don’t really use that

Podcast ad skipping sadly not a thing.

Price might be an issue though. The top end models with all the whistles come at a smartphone flagship price point.
