@nebulon I very much like the idea for such a dashboard being installed as an app instead of trying to make the main/admin dashboard overly configurable or theme-able. Agreed! I like the idea of a new addon type that would give an app 'automatic access' (doesn't have to be configured by end user) to some API endpoints. I agree with @girish that read-only access would work, but even just the 2 endpoints I listed above would be a solid start. I could eventually see endpoints like 'Get Status' or streams from tasks or services being handy for such dashboards.

@girish damn! I almost feel stupid, I just listen to the Gatsby dude which was saying you have nothing to set in your wordpress thank for your research and your time
