Today dashboard
One screen next to my desk that tells me each morning what matters most today — and lets me pick it up with one click.
About the project
Within a month, six places had grown up that each told part of the answer to "where do things stand and what should I do?": the back office, a signal radar, Telegram, Discord, a status file and a morning task. The biggest problem: you saw something, but couldn't act on it straight away. Since 31 October 2026 there is one screen next to my desk that brings it all together. The image above is a sketch; the real screen shows email, calendar and client details.
From source to action
What it does
- Three items every morning, chosen by Claude from everything that's going on — each with the reason it matters today
- Pick up opens a new Claude Code session with the task already filled in; Later and Not now are remembered, so the same item doesn't come back every day
- "Waiting for you": tasks from Google Tasks to tick off and important email to mark as seen
- Today's and tomorrow's calendar, and a narrow strip with the best signals from the radar
- A card per project with where it stands and the next step
Technology
Plain PHP without external dependencies. The screen only runs on my own PC: project status and plans never go online. It reads the data gathered by the back office on a small PC at home, and writes only two small files itself: what I did with an item. The design — warm cream and yellow, large counters, one dark card — I chose from five examples.
Why this is in a portfolio
This is AI that doesn't just summarise, but helps you get started. The same idea works for any small business that gets information from five directions: one place that says what needs doing today, with a button to do it.
