Hi HN, I have been busy working on this little project. I know there are some dashboard sites out there but I wanted to reimagine the dashboard & widget idea, going toward a minimalist design. (dark mode first :) ) We all struggle to find ourself waking up with multiple tabs, gathering different sources of information for a new day. This is some effort to optimize that workflow, simplify the morning routine, hope to come up with something useful for everyone. Check it out, let me know if you have any ideas. Cheers. https://www.dashb.io Vanius

Is this dashboard for weather? If so I have a few questions: what’s the need for it since I could use my built in weather app on iPhone. If it isn’t then can you tell me? I’m just curious

Hi Mrirazak1, weather is just one 'widget' on the dashboard. There are other widgets you can use like: Embed (show news pages, forum posts..), notes (for todo lists, quick notes..). See some Dashboard Examples here to understand the use cases: https://github.com/ngduc/dashb/blob/main/examples.md I think this is more useful for bigger screens (tablets, computers) where you can quickly see many data sources at once, without opening many tabs, or apps.

It should work now. Database connections limit reached. I fixed it.

Hi ngvan,

Here is my experience trying to use it. I tried to capture it in a 5 min video.

If you find it useful, please use it. If it doesn't make sense, please discard the review. Happy building!!
