Glance…dashboard
Oh, man, that’s a little confusing name-wise. There’s also the unrelated Glances, which also displays a dashboard that might list things like the TX/RX data from your router.

Yes, and not only is this project very generically named, searching for what I was looking to do was difficult because of the wide range of options in terms of what a home dashboard should be…
Many people want home automation integration, I don’t have any (centralized) home automation
Many projects with UI designed for smallish touch screens (e.g. wall mounted info panels, where you need to tap to see info)
Many projects want a full fledged grafana type install, overkill for me/my tiny homelab
I was aiming for something more akin to those hotel lobby TVs which show useful local info and news on a fixed refresh cycle. This was also common on cable TV years ago: some channels would just show weather and news headlines 24/7 on a fixed cycle with music.
