Preview: Startpage & New Tab Page

This is the page I use on every new window/tab load in my browsers. It's personalized for me, but of course I invite forks and mods. Enjoy.

There's a file JSON file named conf.json in the root of the project.

It should look like this:

{
  "ethplorerURL": "https://api.ethplorer.io/getAddressInfo/X?apiKey=X&showETHTotals=true",
  "etherscanURL": "https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=account&action=balance&address=X&tag=latest&apikey=X",
  "alchemyURL": "X",
  "techmemeURL": "X",
  "nytURL": "X",
  "redditURL": "X",
  "instapaperURL": "X",
  "lexiURL": "X",
  "counterURL": "X",
  "lastFMURL": "https://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=user.getrecenttracks&user=X&api_key=X&format=json&limit=1",
  "ipKey" : "X"
}

The params instapaperURL, techmemeURL, nytURL, redditURL, alchemyURL, lexiURL are websites where I render the html/rss into an HTML column.

counterURL is an endpoint I use to track pageviews. ethplorerURL gives wallet stats. etherscanURL is unused currently. lastFMURL gives my last played song and total count of scrobbles. ipKey is a free key you get for IP checks from https://ipinfo.io.

The background images are randomly chosen from a series of images I serve on my own website.
