What it is

Glance is a self-hosted, lightweight dashboard written in Go that aggregates multiple feed sources (RSS, Reddit, Hacker News, YouTube, Twitch, weather, Docker stats, market prices) into a single customizable interface. It delivers a <20MB binary with minimal dependencies, fast page loads (~1s uncached), and responsive mobile-first design, all configured via YAML. Monolithic single-binary structure: internal/glance/ contains the core application split into functional modules (auth.go, config.go, glance.go, main.go), with static assets (CSS, JS, icons, fonts) embedded in internal/glance/static/. Widget-specific styling (widget-rss.css, widget-docker-containers.css, etc.) and template logic…

Start here

Read these in order:

  • internal/glance/static/js/templating.js — Foundation: doesn't import anything internally and is imported by 4 other files. Read first to learn the vocabulary.
  • internal/glance/static/js/utils.js — Foundation: imported by 3, no internal dependencies of its own.
  • internal/glance/static/js/todo.js — Built on the foundation; imported by 1 downstream file.
  • internal/glance/static/js/calendar.js — Built on the foundation; imported by 1 downstream file.
  • internal/glance/static/js/page.js — Layer 2 — application-level code that wires the lower layers together.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

No package.json or Makefile visible, implying Go-only build. Inferred setup: git clone https://github.com/glanceapp/glance && cd glance && go build ./cmd/glance (verify exact build target in repository). Install Go 1.…

Daily commands:

Clone repo, build with go build ./cmd/glance (or run go run ./cmd/glance for development), create a glance.yml config file (reference: docs/configuration.md), then execute the binary. Binary will serve HTTP on confi…

Key cautions & unknowns

  • Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 73% of recent commits
  • AGPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
  • Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
  • Embedded assets: Static files (CSS, JS, images) are embedded in the binary at build time via embed.go; changes to internal/glance/static/ require rebuilding. YAML schema validation: config-fields.go likely…
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
