Dashy is an app that pulls together all your tools and data so that instead of opening many apps and websites to achieve something, you can just do it in one place instead. I currently have over 40 widgets that allow you to do a variety of things such as:

• Hex to ASCII Converter: Converts hexadecimal to readable ASCII text. • Line Sort and Dedupe Tool: Sorts and dedupes text lines. • Base64 Image Encode/Decoder: Converts images to/from Base64. • JSON Formatter: Makes JSON strings readable and structured. • Color Converter: Converts colors to HSL, RGB, HEX formats. • Text Diff Tool: Highlights differences between two texts. • Text Inspector: Counts lines, characters, and words in text. • CSV to JSON Converter: Converts between CSV and JSON formats. • ChatGPT Grammar Check: Instant grammar correctness check. • ChatGPT Translate: Translates text between languages. • ChatGPT Polish Up: Formats casual text for professional use. • ChatGPT Dictionary: Provides word definitions and examples. • Image Re-sizer: quickly resize images to your desired dimensions • Stock Ticker: ticker to stay up to date with how the markets are performing • Ticketmaster Events: Shows nearby events conveniently. • Sports Score Tracker: Provides real-time scores for various sports games. • Betting Odds: Displays betting odds for various sports events.

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

Nice! This is something I have wanted to build myself. Not this exactly but in this space. I was thinking a daily brief / notification kind of thing.

My use case would be overdue or coming Microsoft Todos, upcoming calendars from 2 calendars. Tomorrow’s weather maybe. The hard thing is filtering it down to what I really want to pay attention to, as too many widgets would lead to overwhelm.

Will you make it so people can write their own widgets? That would make it very powerful.

I have a vague memory that Google offered something like this years ago. Probably not as good. But it is bugging me what that thing was! I think I used it once.

Yes, it's on my roadmap to let people create their own widgets, or at least to somehow customize the data that's displayed inside of one. Still working out the best way to implement that. Open to suggestions :)

For your use cases, are you talking about integrating with Microsoft Todos and other calendars?

hmm, I wonder what it was... I'll have to do some googling :)

I think it was this:

Shut down, but someone has made a homage to it:
