A short one. Every widget nextDash had read something it already held on your own disk: your links, your checks, your inbox. 1.7.0 adds the first two that look outward instead – at the weather, and at what is coming up in your calendar – along with a layout you can lock and a round of buttons that had stopped matching the themes around them. Source and downloads: github.com/jordibrouwer/nextdash Release notes: v1.7.0 on GitHub Two widgets that look outward Nineteen widget types now, in a new group of their own in the catalogue: What is happening around you? Weather puts current conditions beside a forecast – three days, five days, or the next 24 hours. It does not ask you where you are, because you have already said: it reads the location, source and units you set for the header’s own weather line. Asking a second time would have been […]
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 […]
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. Source and downloads: github.com/jordibrouwer/nextdash — release notes: on GitHub Widgets stopped being decorations Widgets arrived as blocks you arranged in config. On the dashboard itself they were […]
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.
