I usually don't download plugins that haven't reached a certain threshold of users (mainly for security reasons), but there isn't a bookmark/speed dial plugin that doesn't have obnoxiously large icons taking up a bunch real estate on your screen. This plugin is simple, minimalist, and allows you to display more links on your home screen. Perfect if you're juggling tons of SaaS apps. You can customize the icons, which is a nice little plus and lets you visually organize and navigate links. Would it be possible to allow users to adjust the size of margins/boundaries? Currently the default is 6 columns. Can we adjust the settings for more? EDIT: I found it-- you can adjust it to 8 columns. It also syncs devices. Loving it. Thank you!
