Discover a startup every time you open a new tab

I love the idea, however, the format doesn't work for me at all. Showing the startup's website takes a long time to load, and it's a bad user experience.

Instead what you want to show people who open a new tab is a standardized UI (I'd go for: the startup name, what is does in one line, one standard-sized image, some text, and a link). If you'd do that, you could preload one or several startups and make those tabs load instantly. That way it's a lot less jarring and distracting for the user.

Also, a Firefox version is a must-have.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, a minimalist to-do list every time you open a new tab: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dayboard-new-tab-p...

This will both annoy me and distract me.

Reading the comments everyone loves the idea and gives basically the same reasons I gave for hating it. Whats wrong with me?

Good for wanting to randomly find a startup, but was hoping it'd be a way to discover new startups as part of my daily internet usage. Don't think I'll end up seeing many of the pages this way.

Imagine working on a project, need to Google something and suddenly it's 1,5 hours later and you're reading up on some random framework you've never used and certainly don't need for your current project because this cool startup that popped up in your new tab gave you another great idea and and and...

Finally, (solution to problem that doesn't exist) for (people like you/engineers like you) who know (what matters/what counts).

-95% of these are thinly styled Twitter Bootstrap sites with huge hero images.

-Sweet jesus most of these load super slow.

-There are some interesting ideas here, but a whole lot of "[buzz word][buzz word][buzz word][buzz word], for the [buzz word]" copy.

In fact, this is a great way to see how you should change your startup's website so it doesn't sink into all this sameness.

Oh, and perhaps having a 1920x1080 photograph saved as a 1.3 MB+ PNG image as a background is a bad idea too...

Only downside: it's basically the browser equivalent of remembering you have to get your keys from the bedroom, going upstairs to get them, forgetting why you went back to your room in the first place, picking up the copy of Wired on your nightstand, heading out, and getting to the office only to realise you forgot your keys.

I did get a warning message from Google about your maps dev key not being valid.
