Modular Dashboard

A retro-terminal Electron + React dashboard with drag-and-drop JS plugins. Auto-starts at Windows login; supports fullscreen + always-on-top so it can act as a persistent skin layered on top of the normal Windows shell.

Run in dev mode

cd dashboard
npm install
npm start

Build a Windows installer

npm run package

Outputs dist/Dashboard Setup <version>.exe — a standard NSIS installer. Once installed, the user-editable plugins folder lives at %APPDATA%/Dashboard/plugins/ (you can find the exact path in Settings → About).

Global hotkey

Ctrl+Shift+Q quits the app from anywhere — including fullscreen + always-on-top. Critical escape hatch.

Built-in plugins

• system-stats — uptime + animated load gauge
• hardware — CPU/RAM/GPU usage, temps, fans (LibreHardwareMonitor recommended for full sensor data)
• launcher — app tiles auto-discovered from Start Menu, plus user-added apps. Hide unwanted apps; choices persist
• file-explorer — browse the filesystem, open files with default apps
• quick-links — one-click bookmarks (URLs, folders, files, exes)
• notes — persistent scratchpad
• todo — checklist with localStorage

Drop new ones into plugins/ (or %APPDATA%/Dashboard/plugins/ after install). See PLUGINS.md.
