All systems nominal
FLIGHT DECK is a dashboard framework where every widget is a folder. Drop one in, drag it where you want it, and it stays live — weather, markets, servers, feeds, your whole homelab. No build step. No dependencies. Nothing between you and the code.
Features
Everything you'd expect from a polished dashboard, with none of the weight. Open the source and every line is readable — because there's nothing compiled, bundled or hidden.
Vanilla ES modules served by a zero-dependency Node server. Clone it, start it, done. There is no node_modules — and there never will be.

A manifest and a script. Copy one, rename it, share it.
Drag, resize, collide, reflow. Phone layouts are stored separately, so a quick check on mobile never wrecks your desktop.
Modules, profiles, presets, widgets, themes — type a few letters and go. Try it on this page.
Six presets ship in the box. Applying one makes a new profile — nothing you built gets overwritten.
Modules ask for {{secret.NAME}}. The server fills it in on the way out, so your keys stay on the machine that holds them.

When something breaks, the widget says what, why and how to fix it — with a code you can copy. The rest of the deck keeps flying.

Same deck, three ways to fly it.
The hangar
A curated dozen from the box. Most need no API key at all — add them and they light up.
Current conditions and a short forecast from Open-Meteo, for your deck's location or anywhere else.
Animated precipitation radar over a slippy map. Watch the storm before it reaches you.
Geomagnetic activity from NOAA — Kp now, the three-day forecast, and the odds where you are.
Every timezone you care about at a glance, with day and night and the offset from you.
Agenda and month views from any .ics feed — Google, Outlook, Fastmail, Nextcloud.
Shares, indices, currency pairs and crypto in one watchlist, with intraday sparklines.
RSS and Atom merged into one timeline, with read tracking. Your news, your sources.
Repo stats, recent commits, open issues and PRs, and CI status — the pulse of a project.
Live status of the services you depend on, read straight from their own status pages.
Containers on the host: state, ports, CPU and memory. Read-only, through a socket proxy.
Your tailnet at a glance: keys about to expire, routes nobody approved, and who's online.
Contribution-style squares for anything you tick off daily. Entirely local, entirely yours.
More in the box — Pi-hole, Home Assistant, Jellyfin, Sonarr & Radarr, uptime monitoring, Hacker News, YouTube and more.
Build your own
The module API hands you everything: data sources with caching and polling, settings forms generated from your manifest, a shared context, and lifecycle helpers that clean up after themselves.
modules/_template is annotated end to end.// A working clock. This is the whole module. export default { setup(ctx) { ctx.interval(() => this.paint(), 1000); // pauses when hidden }, render(ctx) { ctx.el.replaceChildren(this.out = ctx.h('div.fd-stat-value')); this.paint(); }, paint() { if (this.out) this.out.textContent = new Date().toLocaleTimeString(); }, };

Quick start
FLIGHT DECK isn't public yet. When it ships, starting it is one command — it needs Node 18 or newer and nothing else.
> .\start.cmd
$ ./start.sh
Your browser opens on http://localhost:5173. Pick a preset and you're flying. Running it on a Linux server instead? It ships with a Docker Compose setup.
