Comment on Show HN: Pad – personal access dashboard for keeping tabs on multiple sites

Comments

Hey HN, random hack project from the weekend that I thought I’d share.

Super POC, 5h50m according to Wakatime, not all of the buttons work, code is a bit of a mess but relatively lightweight. Next.js with material-ui.

Currently not responsive, desktop only, due to some logic that needs to be written to handle the iframe zoom functionality on any screen size.

App handles data client side only via local storage persistency, no accounts needed. Eventually plan to add a P2P sync process via WebRTC to do multi device or maybe even sharing.

Why not a bookmark manager, you ask?

I like switching between browsers and devices and wanted a similar experience but one I could just access on a url while also being client-only (still need the sync feature mentioned above). I also plan to add more devtools-like functionality such as viewport size toggles, load time checks, etc to make it easy to get a high-level glance of all the sites you manage.

Having some issues with iframe performance, have thought about some solutions like serving an image until interaction. Ideas are graciously welcome!

Thanks for looking
