Ask HN: Templates for Home / Dev Portal Homepage

I'm trying to find something quick and extensible, bonus points for aesthetics, that could be used to set my dev machine's homepage, and show 'glorified bookmarks' to common links and projects that I need to access. Something akin to Safari's bookmark 'homepage' but more customizable.

Unfortunately, searching for 'portal' 'links' 'HTML', etc, is a needle-in-a-haystack endeavor.
