v1.9.0

New

• new start page:
  • Ascii Start (repo)
• you can now reset the settings on a startpage with a handy button
  

Improved

• switched from using LocalStorage to store user settings to cookie storage so pages can be rendered by the server rather than on the frontend
• startpages no longer need to run Javascript to be custom (supported by using EJS)
• renamed Edit page to Settings
• fixed links on Win95 so they don't open a new tab every time

Coming up
