PSA: dashboard for NC14 (Aug 2018)

[ArtificialOwl]

Because I see you're working on the current version of the app, let me just give you some update on the roadmap of the main branch of dashboard.

I am currently rewriting the whole app from scratch, and those are the main points you should know:

• The dashboard will use gridstack so users will be able to move/resize elements on the page. Those elements are called Widgets.
• Widgets are independent of the Dashboard app and will be distributed within other apps. If not related to any other apps, a new app will be created, and any app can a single or multiple widgets. The Dashboard app will contains only few small/basic widgets. As an example, the 'last uploaded files' should be included in the Activity app.
• A small Javascript API will helps Widget to reach Nextcloud and pull data (IDashboardWidget)
• A small PHP API will help pushing events/data to the Widgets.

I am available if you wish to contribute to this next release for NC14: https://github.com/nextcloud/dashboard/tree/gridstack
