One of the newer projects under the *Space GitHub organization is something I've been wanting for a while: a personal web dashboard that brings together the widgets and data I reach for every day into one clean, authenticated hub.

It's called Dashboard, and here's an early look at it in action:

What Is It?

Dashboard is a personal productivity hub that lives behind GitHub authentication. Once you sign in, you get a customizable set of widgets covering the things I find myself checking constantly:

Weather & Location — Current conditions and forecasts at a glance, no more opening a separate weather tab
Traffic Maps — Google Maps integration showing live traffic so I can plan around congestion
GitHub Projects — Repository and organization data pulled straight from the GitHub API, keeping project status visible without context-switching
Crypto Chart Viewer — Live cryptocurrency price charts so I can keep an eye on the market without leaving the dashboard
Calendar — A calendar view to keep track of what's coming up

Widget layout and preferences are stored locally in the browser, so everything stays configured the way you left it.

Why Build It?

Commercial dashboard tools exist, but they're either too generic, too expensive, or too locked in. Building my own means I get exactly the data sources I care about, styled the way I want, running on infrastructure I control. And since it's an open-source project under the *Space org, it's built in the open—not hard to find if you go looking.

That said, we're not actively seeking users for it right now. This is still a personal tool and a learning exercise first. If it ends up being useful to the *Space community or beyond, great, but that's not the priority today.

What's Next

There's more I want to wire up—additional integrations, more widget options, and some lightweight automation. I'll share more as it comes together.

For now, this is just a sneak peek. More to come.
