Show HN: Reportr - Your life's personal dashboard (opens in new tab)

Not everything posted to Hacker News is about becoming a startup or gaining early adopters or quick traction.

This is a cool project from a developer... hosted on github... and made available freely for all. They decided to share it here. That's great.

Your blanket is entirely unwelcome.

Thank you. There is an instance running at www.reportr.io This is a side project which is targeting only developers right now, the project is not yet ready for everybody and I'm not ready to host so critical data from a large number of users.

Developers who do stuff like this generally do it for themselves and people who are very similar to themselves. I've released quite a few products in a similar fashion requiring people to host and install it themselves and someone always makes this comment. I don't build software like this for other people, I build it for myself, I share it with everyone because someone else might want to build on top of it or use it, I don't really care if it "takes off" because it solves a personal problem in my own life.

>you are seriously limiting your audience by making people install and host it themselves.

Wordpress would like to have a word with you.

All custom fonts look off in Chrome on Windows, because Chrome on Windows uses a different font renderer than every other browser, including Chrome on other platforms. Last I checked the official Chromium bug (which is almost 2 years old now), someone talked about starting work on using DirectWrite in April. Hasn't happened yet.

If you want to see how the site's supposed to look, load up Firefox or Internet Explorer.

    The text on the Reportr website looks kind of off on Windows.

Google Chrome != Windows

Thank you :)

Cool, collaborators are welcome, it's easy to add a new tracker.
