Maybe instead of having to register have a feature like:

http://www.fivesecondhomepage.com/www.reddit.com

Which shows the quote, then gets me to reddit or whatever

I was going to suggest this as well. Why would you bother with a database for something like this? Maybe it's a data mining effort.

This seems like a much better idea than /somereddituser.

Also, if @OP keeps the same scheme with /username, you need to have an "Edit" button. I typoed the first time, and now I'm stuck with a bad redirect.

Thank you for your suggestion nthitz the link is working :)

    Enter your current homepage URL ex: google.com (Do not include'http://')

Lazy programmer. Let your users paste in whatever they want, and have your code handle it either way.

lazy got more lazy :)no registration is required http://Fivesecondhomepage.com/www.example.com

Why use a sign up when you could use HTML5 localStorage and users put the url and you redirect them..

Looks good anyways

One problem is https urls don't seem to work properly, the colon seems to be stripped from the input.

https://duckduckgo.com changes to https//duckduckgo.com, which doesn't work, so you have to resort to the unsecure version.

Reminds me of the BSD fortune program which greets me every time I log into Slackware. :)

Does anyone use homepages anymore?

pavel_lishin14 anni fa

I use More Interestingness[0] for new tabs in Chrome, and I have my personal email, work email, twitter and Google Reader start in pinned tabs on launch.

I have no need for five seconds of inspirational quotes. That's what /usr/local/bin/fortune is for.

I have tumblr dashboard as my home page because otherwise I forget to check tumblr.

Google search is my homepage because it is (er... 'was') lightweight and quick to load. When opening the browser, if there was a problem with my net connection, I could be fairly certain it was between me and the ISP, not that the google servers were down.

kaolinite14 anni fa

Yes.

toxik14 anni fa

Ugh why redirect after exactly five seconds? Stressed out or what?

mstefanko14 anni fa

Yeah, I agree with the consensus thus far. To me the sign-up ruins this. Anything that gets this to the point where that's not required, adds a lot of value to your service.

techpost14 anni fa

you do not need to sign-up anymore http://Fivesecondhomepage.com/www.example.com

OP:Why do you need a sign-up?

cschep14 anni fa

Been using http://minimotivation.com/ for a while. This looks really similar.

tantalor14 anni fa

Would be quite effective as a Chrome Extension: no server to host and no sign-up required. Just put the quotes up on a CDN.

icebraining14 anni fa

What about the ~64% of us who use something other than Chrome?

tantalor14 anni fa

It gets better.

hamburglar14 anni fa

Hell, it would be effective as a data: url.

hamburglar14 anni fa

Can I paste a huge data url here? Let's see.

Sure, but that's the same inspirational quote every time.

hamburglar14 anni fa

I trust I don't need to explain how one might make it choose randomly from a large list of quotes if you really wanted to do this.

snowman4114 anni fa

"everytime you open your browser , by showing you quote". That amount of typos is terrible.
