I know that personal dashboards are restricted to a certain day of the week here, but I'm actually looking for community input on great looking PUBLICLY accessible dashboards on the web.

We have eight 52" panels on the wall and not enough stuff to put on them all. I would love some suggestions that I can project from browsers. My boss has no imagination and I want to show her a few.

These are not live updated, but I sometimes have one up and use a browser plugin to refresh the page every 30min

I think the source code on how the images are generated are open source. Maybe you can download the source code and make a live page or four.

So youre looking for a personal dashboard that can not only display/link to your services, but also displays specific info from other sources?

I dont use it myself but iirc dashy can display iframes, and through that you could display whatever you want i guess.

Dashy can do that?

Having read your comment I think I understand what you are looking for: fancy dashes available to the public to serve as inspiration for your team.

In that case, let me suggest:

Financial stuff is difficult  —  while there are many websites showing fancy websites, they don't exactly like to expose their data programmatically because of the API costs.

If you're a nerdy workplace, you can also look up satellite trackers, too.

Thank you. These are great. 100% the type of info I'm looking for.

You seem to look for „digital signage“. So rather Google for that, imho. We use https://www.xibosignage.com to show some stuff, you are relatively free to put what you want where you want and can do that centrally for one or a lot of displays.
