The constraint
Start with the real friction.
Important company context disappears into chat threads, while traditional intranets are too heavy for small teams to maintain or remember to visit.

Product thesis
“The most useful company homepage is the one people already open.”
The response
Orgpage turns the browser’s new tab into a lightweight, team-owned surface. Owners and admins manage content; members see updates, complete onboarding tasks, open shared links, and recognize teammates.
System map
How the pieces fit.
01
New-tab surface
A Manifest V3 extension replaces the default new tab with the organization’s configured homepage.
02
Team controls
Role-aware admin routes manage members, invites, content, themes, and the widgets shown to the team.
03
Organization data
Firebase authentication and Firestore support organization-scoped content, with a local demo mode for evaluation.
What it does
Concrete capability.
- Announcements, pinned updates, and company links
