New Logo & Community Start Pages, RSS improvements, and more!

Now that summer is behind us, we’ve been busy rolling out updates big and small. From our refreshed logo and new Community Start Pages to RSS improvements, there’s plenty to share. We also made a modest adjustment to PRO pricing to keep things sustainable—while still very affordable. Curious what’s new? Read on!

Logo update

After years with the old logo, we’ve decided to tweak and improve it a bit. Can you spot the differences?

• We’ve changed the blue color to improve contrast and legibility.
• Added radius to the logo squircle and to the bookmark icon itself, to signal our continued innovative and friendly orientation.
• Tweaked the dot in Start.me – losing color and increasing distance to the m, again to improve legibility.

New feature: Community Start Pages

With Community Start Pages, you can explore curated collections of bookmarks, tools, and resources around specific topics—created and shared by other users. Currently, we offer the following categories:

• AI Tools & Coding – Pages with resources on artificial intelligence, programming frameworks, prompts, and tutorials to stay current in tech.
• Business & Productivity – Practical pages with strategies, playbooks, and tools to plan, organize, and work efficiently.
• Crypto & Blockchain – Collections exploring cryptocurrencies, DeFi, wallets, analytics, and blockchain platforms.
• Cybersecurity – Hubs with tools, guides, and best practices for threat intel, vulnerability research, and incident response.
• OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) – Curated techniques, datasets, and workflows for investigating and verifying open-source data.
• Personal link collections – Individual users’ curated bookmarks, from hobbies like Guitar tabs, and travel to news and daily favorites.
• Resources for Students & Teachers – Educational tools, study aids, and classroom resources for learning and teaching.
• Templates – Ready-made Start.me pages to kickstart projects, organize resources, or build dashboards quickly.

We’ve added many new features to make these collections more informative, valuable, and more social. As of today, you can display pages in order of popularity (the total number of page followers), last updated, recently added, or alphabetically.

You can follow single pages, or follow Start.me users, so you’ll see all their public pages in you page menu. And, of course, you can add your own collection. Just click and hit Submit page.

Timestamps in the RSS widget

We’ve improved the RSS widget by adding timestamps, so you can instantly see when an article was published—especially handy for LIVE updates and important events. By default, timestamps are shown for new feeds, but you can easily toggle them on or off via More (three dots) > Display settings > Show timestamps.

Improved Bookmark Title Detection

We’ve improved the detection of titles for the bookmarks our users add. Now, for almost all sites, we provide accurate titles right away—including for popular sites like YouTube.com and CNN.com.

Still not happy with the titles in your bookmark widget? Use our Smart Title Clean-up to ensures your bookmarks look clean and consistent.

Price inflation correction

To keep our service reliable and sustainable, we’ve made a modest adjustment to our PRO plan pricing:

• PRO Annual: $25 USD per year (was $24)
• PRO Lifetime: $75 USD one-time fee (was $70)

These small changes help us continue improving Start.me while keeping plans affordable.
