Show HN: Dashy.io – combine tools, news, and notifications into one dashboard

https://dashy.io

I built this app to be a hub for different tools, data, and news you might need throughout your day. You can customize it to match your workflow.

You can add RSS news feeds, store code snippets and bookmarks, resize an image, get stock quotes, view the weather, and more. I currently have about 31 widgets and I'm looking to add more.

I would love to hear all the feedback/suggestions. Thanks!

Nice idea.

Maybe I would use it more if there where more widgets. For example, I myself would like to see things for my side-projects, like website visitor stats, build status (Vercel), amount of twitter followers, etc.

Perhaps if there is support for plugins people would build on your platform.

Thanks! I have a bunch more widgets coming soon, and you gave me some ideas for more :) I briefly looked into adding a twitter widget but their API costs are too expensive for me at this point.

Yes, it's been on my mind, just need to figure out a secure way to implement it

I like it, but I don't see why I would pay a monthly subscription for something that runs offline.

Thanks! could you explain what you mean by "runs offline." With something like this I definitely need to try to recoup server and api costs.

Seems interesting, but I would prefer a self-hosting option.

Do anyone knows of any alternatives to what Dashy does?

Thanks, is there a particular area of concern? j/w if I can mitigate that somehow.
