I would like to have a screen in my home displaying a summary of different information that is relevant to me, like weather forecast, bus/train times, news headlines, etc. I was planning to use a Raspberry Pi and either buy a screen to display the information or just show it on my TV. It could probably be as simple as serving a page with HTML and JavaScript and then displaying it in a full screen web browser.
I feel like this is probably something that a lot of people want so I am wondering if there is something out there already that can easily be extended with custom “widgets”. Nextcloud actually has a dashboard that’s a bit like this but ideally I’d like something that is standalone and easier to extend with my own widgets.
Anyone have any recommendations?

Haven’t looked into actually extending it with custom widgets since I’d also like bus times.
I’m planning in having it in an unused tablet I have around.
This looks promising, thanks!
