Frequently Asked Questions

What is DashDork?

DashDork is your personal, customizable dashboard. It was built as an alternative to the beloved Netvibes. It allows you to organize various widgets, such as RSS feeds, notes, weather information, and more, all in one place. You can create multiple tabs to organize your widgets by topic or context.

What do the colored dots next to RSS feed titles mean?

The colored dots next to the titles of your RSS feed widgets indicate how recently the feed's content was last updated:

  • • Green dot: The feed has new content updated within the last 30 minutes.
  • • Yellow/Amber dot: The feed has new content updated between 30 minutes and 2 hours ago.
  • • Red dot: The feed has not had new content for more than 2 hours.

This helps you quickly see which feeds have the freshest information.

How do I add a new widget?

To add a new widget, look for an "Add Widget" button or link, usually found in the header or on an empty dashboard. You'll be able to choose the type of widget (e.g., RSS, Notes) and configure its settings.

How can I manage my tabs?

You can add new tabs using the "Add Tab" button, typically located in the header area. You can also edit or delete existing tabs, often through a menu associated with each tab (sometimes appearing on hover or a click).

Can I customize the look of my dashboard?

Yes, DashDork includes theme settings that allow you to change the appearance of your dashboard. Look for a "Theme Settings" option, usually accessible from the main header or a settings menu.

How do I move widgets around?
