What’s MinDash?
MinDash is a personal, minimal dashboard that stores your bookmarks and allows you to search with multiple search engines. It can be deployed to the cloud or served from your device. It works across browsers and timezones.
Features
- A clean and minimal look
- Use the choice your search engine with every search
- Dark and light themes adjusted to your OS preferences
- Displays the current Date and Time (detects timezone from your browser)
- Makes no inbound or outbound connections
- No trackers, No other BS
- Just static files, generated using jekyll
- Modify the look and feel as you like
- You need to understand jekyll for that
- It will get easier when I add more features
- Feel free to make a pull request though (repo is linked at the end)
Planned features
- Password protected dashboard
- Add notes sections (saved using local storage)
- Edit and modify bookmarks (saved using local storage)

- Ability to display web based news or articles (Like XML, Atom Feeds).
