Ask HN: What services can I use to collect/query and dashboard my custom data?
I have always wanted a "life dashboard" that I can host somewhere to show information about all aspects of whatever I want all in one web dashboard. I would pull transport info in from Transport For London, News in from where ever relevant, Reddit posts, my current finances from my bank, Home info from HASS, Server statistics, etc..
Ultimately I would like a service where I could hook into existing connectors, or write my own adaptors to pull data and display on a dashboard.
Does anyone have any experience with such software or other solutions? I've been toying with some ideas and services, but was curious about existing services that already have the framework in place (and hopefully connectors), as I don't want to go reinventing the wheel for logging, caching, etc.

Where are you in terms of your development?
From the GitHub repository (I should copy this information to the actual documentation as well):
> The project is under active development. While it is live already, I consider the status late alpha due to possible changes and the minimal amount of widgets.
That said, it is an on and off project for me. A type of a playground for testing out things, but one with a long-term goal nonetheless. During October, several people contributed (Hacktoberfest), so my motivation went up again.
If you think this is the tool you would like to build your idea on, feel free to reach me (email or twitter) or join the project's Gitter [0].
