Ask HN: Any decent personalized dashboard startups?
I want an information dashboard I can leave up on a second screen.
I need to be able to customize it, having it pull things like weather, sports times/standings, data from YNAB, to do list, etc. Have it update every so often.
Does this exist? If it doesn't, where do I start as someone that doesn't code?
- cdiamand 9y agoHey Kevin! I'm a big fan of this idea. I've also at times longed for something that could track my finances, fitness / sleep, and productivity data. This looks interesting: https://www.thedash.com/ https://www.thedash.com/ If you can't find an existing solution, I would start by putting together a description of exactly what you're looking to build. From there you can either try and find a technical person willing to help out, or hire someone via a site like upwork.com
- Kevin_S 9y agoYep I've checked it, but it only supports a few of the applications i want to include. Also, the UI and such leaves a lot to be desired. I'm decided to just start on it. I'll use it to give myself an intro to HTML and Python. So far just a simple page with a clock. But it's something!

- madamelic 9y agoI've been slowly chipping at this problem as well. https://github.com/madelinecameron/Dash https://github.com/madelinecameron/Dash It probably isn't useful to you as a non-coder though. :)
