wayfarer
Wayfarer is a personal browser start page that keeps bookmarks and Read Later items available locally first, then syncs changes to a user-owned Supabase or Firebase project. It combines protected editing, Google and bang searches, Selfh.st icons, and a resilient sync queue so the dashboard stays useful whether the browser is online or not.
Project Story
What this project is about
The goal was to make a personal start page feel dependable rather than disposable. I centered the build on local-first data: edits are written to IndexedDB immediately, with an idempotent queue handling cloud updates and incremental pulls when a connection is available. The cloud setup is designed to stay in the user's hands, with short-lived OAuth connectors that create or reuse their own Supabase or Firebase project without exposing secrets. That foundation made it possible to pair a quick, focused bookmark experience with sync that behaves gracefully across reconnects, tabs, and devices.
Build Focus
Offline-first bookmark data, conflict-resilient cloud sync, and a simple setup flow for user-owned Supabase or Firebase projects.
Experience Goal
Make a personal start page feel fast, private, and reliable—whether online, offline, or moving between browsers.
