As someone who has configured a number of products like this I have to say I find it all to be "nerd candy". As in it's a lot of fun to setup but not very fulfilling and I can never change my habits to actually use the dashboard (even ones that can show relevant info about the apps they link to, like up/down speed or other stats).
I'd be interested in hearing from people who have set this (or an alternative) up and use it daily/regularly. For me I just always go to myservice.mydomain.com directly. I normally only have to type 2-3 letters before it pops up for me and it's way faster than going to first to a dashboard/launch page, finding my service, and clicking on it.

Two, I need to communicate the same to my wife and so, if the solution were bookmarking, we’d both have to do those. Tools like Dashy or Flame (the one I use) are great for that.

- 6ak74rfy 4y agoThat’s the thing - I use Firefox, wife uses Safari. One home page internal to our home is perfect.
