Glance
A small self-hosted start page that puts your news, weather, markets, YouTube, Reddit and GitHub releases on one calm page, set up from a single text file.
What you can do with it
- A browser homepage with your own news feeds and no algorithm deciding the order
- Weather, markets and a calendar at a glance without opening five apps
- Keeping track of new releases of the open-source tools you use
Worth knowingEverything is set up by editing a text file (YAML), not by clicking, and the YouTube widget depends on YouTube's public feeds, which were failing for most channels on the day we tested.
