About Crema
A clean, minimal start page for your browser and your day.

What it is
Crema turns the blank tab you'd otherwise stare at into something useful. It's a bento grid of cards covering the things you check first thing in the morning — what's the weather, what's happening today, what's worth reading, where do you need to be — all on one page that loads fast and stays out of your way.
It's a Progressive Web App. Install it to your home screen on iOS or your Mac dock and it runs like a native app, with an iOS-style bottom tab bar in standalone mode.
The cards

- Sign in (Settings → Account) — optional, syncs everything via Supabase.

Under the hood
Crema is a single-page Progressive Web App with no framework, no build step, and no client-side JS bundler. Just index.html, app.js, and styles.css, hosted on Vercel. Heavier or rate-limited upstream APIs (NASA, RSS, Bing) go through small serverless proxies with edge caching, so traffic spikes don't burn third-party quotas.
Open data sources powering the cards: Open-Meteo, US National Weather Service, NASA APOD, Wikimedia, Bing, ESPN, Reddit, Wikipedia, Yahoo Finance, and a handful of public RSS feeds. Sign-in is powered by Supabase with row-level security.
Who built it
Crema is built by Mark Anderson in Minnesota. It started as a personal start page and grew into what you see today.
