A minimal, modern dashboard generator. Two files, no dependencies, beautiful output.
Inspired by bderenzo/tinyhome — a brilliant shell-based static homepage generator — and Dashy — a feature-rich self-hosted dashboard. This Python rewrite combines tinyhome's simplicity with a Dashy-inspired UI, adding dark mode, live search, flexible icons, and INI configuration.
Perfect for homelabs, internal intranets, self-hosted dashboards, or anywhere you need a clean landing page for your links.
- Single Python script — no frameworks, no build tools
- INI config file — cleaner than CSV, easy to read and edit
- Dark/light mode — toggle button + respects system preference
- Live search filter — instantly filter cards as you type
- Auto-sorted sections — items alphabetized automatically
- Responsive grid — works on desktop and mobile
- Modern UI — clean cards with subtle hover effects
- Flexible icons — Font Awesome, Dashboard Icons, Simple Icons, favicons, emojis, or custom URLs
- Optional descriptions — add context to any link
- Customizable header — title, subtitle, and logo
- Customizable footer — add copyright, contact info, etc.
- Zero local assets — fonts and icons load from CDN
