## What it is
Glance is a self-hosted dashboard application that aggregates feeds and services into a single customizable start page. It is a lightweight Go binary with widgets for RSS, Reddit, Hacker News, YouTube, weather, Docker containers, server stats, and more, configured via YAML.

## Use cases
- self-host a personal homepage dashboard with all my feeds in one place
- aggregate RSS feeds, Reddit posts, and YouTube uploads on one start page
- monitor Docker containers and server stats from a homelab dashboard
- create a customizable startpage with weather and calendar widgets
- run a lightweight low-memory dashboard in Docker for my homelab
- build a mobile-friendly dashboard with custom themes and layouts

## When to choose
- you want a single self-hosted start page aggregating RSS, social feeds, weather, and server stats
- you need a lightweight dashboard with low memory usage and a small single binary or Docker container
- you want deep customization with YAML configuration, multiple pages/tabs, custom CSS, and themes
- you run a homelab and want Docker container status and server monitoring widgets

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured feed reader with article reading and read/unread state rather than a dashboard overview
- you prefer a GUI-based setup over editing YAML configuration files
- you want a hosted/cloud service rather than something you self-host
- you need real-time streaming updates rather than periodically cached widget data
