I wouldn't assume people know what a link-in-bio is. I've never heard of it.
Should we know what "link in bio" means? How is that a "personal dashboard"?
Good question. For the team: From the term "personal dashboard," I was expecting something that would allow me to track data that's important to me, locally, like if I want to track my sleep stats and my spending and my food intake and whatever else. That's what "personal dashboard" means to me, and I was excited for a self-hosted, open source, clean way to do that. Maybe that product exists, but sadly it has nothing…
Was pretty helpful for me, basically acted as a heads up display that I could look at to track my stats over the day (steps, meditation, focus time, etc.)
Confusing title since "dashboard" appears nowhere on the page. Better description might be "An open-source dynamic link-in-bio" (AKA Linktree alternative)
> An open-source dynamic link-in-bio FWIW, I understand what a "Dashboard" means, never heard of a "link-in-bio" before. From the website, it seems to be something like an "About" page? But dynamic I guess.
I'm not sure of the value of making it more than it needs to be.
Cool project! I clicked on it hoping it was a way to easily visualize my own personal stats. Anyone know of a project like that? Grafana for personal data :)

This space is always a massive graveyard it seems.
I wish either to allow creating an account with an email or like a mini version to build a single dashboard.

There are TONS. Personal dashboard builder is like project #2 or #3 right after TODO lists when it comes to new coders it seems like.

I just so happen to be working on one! It stemmed from my dissatisfaction with the existing meal tracking apps I’ve tried. Initially I’d wanted to track spending as well but apps like YNAB cover this use-case better than I can in the near term so I struck it from the roadmap. I’m trying to focus on health: meal planning and workout scheduling in a system flexible enough to make suggestions as your exercise regimen (a…
Most of my "system," if I can even call it that, is held together by a whole lot of duct tape and bubblegum and commands I ran one time that I found on StackOverflow.

Link-in-bio comes from social platforms where you're allowed 1 url in your profile but need to show many links (also in situations where some of the links may go to content that could get you banned if placed on site ie OF). I'm not sure of the value of making it more than it needs to be.
I would like to see how the page editor looks and works, but there are no screenshots on the GitHub page (https://github.com/tryglow/glow) or in the hosted version (https://glow.as/).
