It currently has several languages included, however, by and large they are google translated, so the accuracy could probably be improved. All you need to do is put the URL you want to link to.Įnhanced apps - These are exactly the same as Foundation apps, the only difference is they also allow you to use an apps API to display some extra information automatically by just entering API credentials.Īs time goes by the list of supported apps will grow, adding a new Foundation app is pretty easy, so I hope the community will get involved and help out with this. With a generic item, you just fill in the name, background colour, add an icon if you want (if you don't a default Heimdall icon will be used), and enter the link url and it will be added.įoundation apps - With these and indeed the Enhanced apps below, you just start typing the name of the app and if it's supported it will show up in a dropdown, click the app name and it will fill in a default background colour and the applications icon. Generic Items - One of the benefits to Heimdall is you can add a link to absolutely anything, whether it's intrinsically supported or not. It's either a Generic item, a Foundation app, or an Enhanced app. Support - Heimdall is backed by the linuxserver.io group App supportĪn item added to Heimdall falls into one of three categories.

There are no iframes here, no apps within apps, no abstraction of APIs. Heimdall works hard to keep things as simple as possible for end users. The end result of this is an application that can technically accommodate the needs of all of its users, but is too complicated for any of it’s users. In the process a million different options are introduced so users can fine tune the application to perfectly match their needs. Simplicity - Many projects fall into the trap of trying to cater for everyone. Heimdall is a work in progress, but in order to make it the best it can be it follows a few simple key values. It’s dedicated to this purpose so you won’t lose your links in a sea of bookmarks. Heimdall is an elegant solution to organise those apps. If you're like me, you use an assortment of web based applications some daily, some weekly, some rarely at all. It doesn't need to be limited to applications though, you can add links to anything you like. As the name suggests Heimdall Application Dashboard is a dashboard for all your web applications.
