Show HN: Add secure widgets on your Windows Desktop or write your own

2 points - today at 4:58 PM


DeskDash is an app I built for myself in Rust with Tauri.

I wanted to be able to have my desktop be a lot more functional, run scripts from it, have todo lists, or simply make it prettier

There are already some existing solutions but all were either too slow, too unsecure or just weren't able to do enough

I chose to build my own, where each widget is sandboxed and locked behind permissions you approve. And where each widget is just HTML+JS code so it's easy to write my own for whatever I need

People on Reddit liked the idea so I ended up making it a full product

Does it support portable mode?
