Glance is a lightweight, fast dashboard (startpage) that lets you build a single homepage to monitor information from many sources. It focuses on clean layout, simple configuration, and widgets for feeds and common web services, making it practical as a personal “home base” in a browser.

Key Features

  • Modular widget system to compose a dashboard (e.g., RSS/Atom feeds and other information tiles)
  • RSS/Atom feed aggregation for following news, blogs, and updates in one place
  • YAML-based configuration for dashboard layout and widget settings
  • Theming/custom styling options to adjust appearance
  • Designed to be lightweight and responsive for always-on use (desktop/tablet)

Use Cases

  • Personal startpage that consolidates news feeds, updates, and useful widgets
  • “Wallboard” display for a home lab showing key info at a glance
  • A simple team/internal landing page showing selected feeds and service summaries

Glance fits users who want a no-frills, self-managed homepage that replaces a mix of separate tabs and feed readers. Its widget approach and straightforward configuration make it easy to iterate on a dashboard as your needs change.
