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 to do with this one.
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 (and thus your nutritional requirements) change. Will also be looking into sleep tracking and other metrics.
Let me know if there’s anything else you’d want to see from an app like this. Happy to shoot you a link to the repo when the MVP gets off the ground.
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.
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.)
Personal dashboard builder is like project #2 or #3 right after TODO lists when it comes to new coders it seems like.
