glance: A self-hosted dashboard that displays your feeds in a streamlined, customizable interface.

What problem it solves

People who follow information from many online sources need a centralized place to view it. Self-hosted dashboard users also need control over layouts, widgets, styling, and page structure through configuration.

Key features

  • Broad widget selection — The dashboard can display RSS feeds, community posts, weather, videos, market prices, service status, server statistics, and custom widgets.

    Source: README

  • Configurable layouts and pages — Users can organize content into different layouts, add multiple pages or tabs, and adjust numerous options for each widget through YAML configuration.

    Source: README, docs

  • Theming and custom styling — Themes can be created by adjusting configuration values, and custom CSS provides additional control over the dashboard's appearance.

    Source: README

  • Multiple installation options — The project supports Docker Compose, precompiled binaries for major desktop and server operating systems, and several third-party installation channels.
