Widgets

Widgets are the building blocks of your Headstart dashboard. Each widget surfaces different information — from bookmarks to integration data — and can be arranged freely.

Grid Layout System

Your dashboard uses a 12-column grid powered by Gridstack.js. Each widget occupies a specific position and size on this grid. You can freely rearrange and resize widgets — your layout is automatically saved.

Drag to Move

Click and drag any widget to reposition it on the grid. Other widgets will flow around it.

Resize

Hover over the bottom-right corner of any widget and drag to resize. Width and height snap to grid cells.

Toggle Widgets

Use the settings panel to hide or show specific widgets. Hidden widgets won't appear on your dashboard.

Available Widgets

Quick Access

A speed dial for your most-used items. Add URLs, color swatches, images, videos, files, and notes. Everything is stored locally and persists across sessions.

Frequently Visited

Shows your top 10 most-visited pages from Chrome browsing history. Updated automatically in the background every 4 days.

Bookmarks

Your Chrome bookmarks, categorized by domain type: Documents, Media, Resources, Issues, Tickets, and Social. Synced from your browser's bookmark tree.

Pinned Apps

One-click shortcuts to your favorite services. Comes with 11 defaults (Gmail, Drive, Calendar, GitHub, etc.) and 50+ apps to choose from in settings.

Google Calendar

Shows upcoming and ongoing events. Join Google Meet calls with one click. Requires Google Calendar OAuth connection.

GitHub

Pull requests and repository activity. Shows open, closed, and merged PRs at a glance. Premium feature.

Figma

Pinned files with thumbnails, recent comments, and file history. Premium feature.

Notion

Task databases and quick notes from your Notion workspace. Premium feature.

Jira

Your Jira issues via JQL queries. Premium feature.

Linear

Linear issues from your team workspace. Premium feature.

Editing the Layout

Your dashboard enters edit mode when you start dragging a widget. While editing you can:

  • Drag widgets to new positions — other widgets will reflow automatically
  • Resize widgets by dragging the resize handle at the bottom-right corner
  • Save your layout — it's persisted to local storage
  • Undo changes if you don't like the result
  • Reset to the default layout at any time

Free vs Premium

The Quick Access, Frequently Visited, Bookmarks, Pinned Apps, and Greeting widgets are available to everyone. Integration widgets (GitHub, Figma, Notion, Jira, Linear) require a premium subscription. Non-premium users will see a locked overlay with an upgrade prompt.
