Five releases in two days — 1.4.5, sorry! Three patches under it, and 1.4.6 — and they all chase the same thread: things nextDash used to do quietly, on your behalf, without telling you. A bookmark’s preview picture used to be fetched by your browser, which meant the site you were dashboarding for found out you were looking at it. A custom widget’s API key went into the credential file and never came back, so a missing Bearer prefix looked identical to a wrong key. Both are fixed now, along with a handful of smaller things that had been sitting wrong since 1.4.4. Preview images stay on your server now — 1.4.6 Hovering a bookmark used to make your browser request that site’s preview image and favicon directly. Convenient, and also a quiet privacy leak: the site learned you were looking at your own dashboard, and a host that blocks […]
A bookmark collection rots quietly. Nothing on the dashboard changes on the day a link dies, a domain moves, a certificate expires or a page you saved four years ago turns into a parked ad. The health view is where all of that is written down — and, more to the point, where it can be worked through. Save a link and it is a promise about the future: this will still be here when I want it. Every promise like that is broken eventually, and none of them announce it. The row on your dashboard looks the same on the day the site goes away as it did on the day you saved it. That leaves you with two habits, both bad. Either you click something to find out — which is how you discover a dead link at the exact moment you needed it — or you stop […]
The last update version v.1.4.2.4 was the one where the dashboard stopped being only links: widgets in the grid, copies of pages kept where you can still read them, a theme browser instead of a listbox. This one is the half that comes after — making all of that behave like the parts that were already there. Nothing here changes what nextDash is. It is the round where a widget starts answering to the right-click and the keyboard the way a category always has, where Health can be told to stop reporting a condition you have already judged, where an Inbox backlog can actually be cleared, and where the browser’s Back button — which had never worked at all — takes you back.

This is the biggest thing I have shipped for nextDash: seventy changes across twelve areas, and four of them are new ground rather than a better version of something that was already there. The dashboard can hold blocks that are not bookmarks. A page can be kept somewhere you will still be able to read it after the site goes. The 214 built-in themes are a grid you can search instead of a listbox you scroll. And bookmarks can arrive from services that keep sending them, rather than only from a file you import once. 1.4.0 will open the What’s new window once after you upgrade. There is one behaviour change worth reading before you pull the image — it is under Upgrading, at the bottom. Source and downloads: github.com/jordibrouwer/nextdash — release notes: v1.4.0 on GitHub $ the grid in 1.4.0 — Uptime, Health trend and a Custom widget reading […]
v1.4.0 adds blocks to the grid that hold figures instead of bookmarks — thirteen of them reading data nextDash already keeps, and one Custom widget that reads a number out of any JSON endpoint. Twenty-eight services come pre-filled, so a Sonarr tile is four clicks.
