Command Center dashboard

My own private dashboard. One place for every task across my two companies, my association work, my networking groups, my book and my personal life.

Why
My work lived in email, chat, a task board, a planner app and paper. I go down rabbit holes and miss things. I wanted one place that chases me, not one I have to remember to check.

How I built it

  1. I listed every area of my life and what I needed: drag and drop, notes on every task, a calendar, big fonts.
  2. Claude built it as one web page.
  3. I put the data in an online database, so it saves on its own. No save button.
  4. I put it online, set to private, so it works the same on my laptop, phone and tablet.
  5. I added a "Decisions" area with running notes, and "Waiting on me" and "Waiting on others" lists.
  6. To update it, I make the changes in Claude. Then I drag the folder with the new code onto my web host.
To copy it you need
Claude, or the AI of your choice, plus a free online database and a web host. The gotcha: if you leave the app open in two places, make sure one cannot overwrite the other.

Try it yourself

Copy this prompt and paste it into ChatGPT or Claude to try it yourself.

Marty Stevens-Heebner built a private dashboard that holds every task in her life (see her What Are We Building? page). Help me build a simple version as one web page. I want sections for each area of my life, tasks with notes and due dates, and a 'Waiting on others' list. Save the data in a free online database so it saves on its own, and host the page privately. Her gotchas: label each button by what it does, and make sure two open tabs cannot overwrite each other. Start by asking what areas my life has. Ask me for anything you need.
