iGoogle inspired start page with tabs support and built in RSS reader, weather, quote of the day widgets which can be resized and positioned around, couple customisation options are available as well. I was missing such type of app ever since iGoogle stopped being available, so here it is. There are probably some bugs lurking around which i'll try fix in coming days/weeks but it's usable for now.

Full disclosure, app was created with massive aid of LLMs (mainly Claude Sonnet)

iGoogle was great. It was a customizable personal dashboard with widgets you could drag and drop, including a really good built-in RSS reader. Which was pretty sweet at the time. Unfortunately, like any Google product that was actually good, it was discontinued in 2013.
