Show HN: Dashbrew – Terminal dashboards from scripts and APIs via JSON config

1 point

a year ago

For each project I work on, I create a custom Tmuxinator session that usually has a dashboard that shows data about the project(system stats, API statuses, script outputs, todos). I built Dashbrew because I wanted a simple, persistent way to see key info in my terminal without juggling multiple windows or browser tabs.

It lets you define a dashboard layout (rows, columns, flex sizing) and components (text, list, chart, table, todo) in a single JSON file. Data sources include shell scripts, HTTP APIs (with optional JSONPath filtering), and local files.

Built with Go and Bubble Tea. The idea is to have a highly configurable, terminal-native information hub.

Looking for feedback on the concept, use cases, or the implementation.
