is it open source? what did you use to build it?

I haven't had a chance to put it up on GitHub, but this is an excellent idea. There are so many sub modules that can be contributed by users - like Google calendar, Gmail unread emails, and Facebook notifications. I've been working on this for a few months as a hobby project, and haven't had time to do all of them.

SublimeDash is currently using JavaScript, jQuery, and PHP to access the weather, stocks, and news API.

I have a basic dashboard of personal performance metrics (e.g. miles walked yesterday via Moves, site pageviews, weather, etc). I have a Raspberry Pi hooked up to the TV in my apartment, and it draws power from the TV's USB. Whenever the TV turns on, the Raspberry Pi boots, and I have it set to boot to the dashboard:

It's pretty nifty.

UPDATE: As per popular request, SublimeDash has been open sourced on GitHub - https://github.com/broizen/sublimedash

I'll write up a short guide on how to add a new module as well as requested modules like Google Calendar, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

I'm very encouraged to take SublimeDash to the next level with all the positive feedback from you guys! Thanks!
