## What it is
Bento is a minimalist, elegant, and hackable browser startpage built with JavaScript. It can be deployed via GitHub Pages or Docker and customized through a simple config file for layouts, colors, greetings, weather, and links.

## Use cases
- set a custom new tab page in firefox or chrome
- self-host a minimalist browser startpage with docker
- create a personalized homepage with clock, weather, and links
- customize a startpage with dark and light themes
- organize bookmarks and links on a browser home page

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, hackable startpage you can configure with a single file
- you prefer self-hosting via GitHub Pages or Docker
- you want dark/light mode, layouts, and weather widgets on your new tab

## When to avoid
