I have Homarr set up, but I realized over the weekend that the thing eats 7GB of memory... Which feels like way to much for something that is just displaying me information (I'm no web dev though so what do I know). I know there is a lot of stuff in this category; Dashy, Homer, Homepage, Glance, Heimdall, Fenrus, Organizr, etc...

The thing I used Homarr for the most is as my "homepage" in my browser. I had some basic information in there, like my calendar, a list of my hosted services, weather. I had another page that would let me see progress on active downloads, but not something I'd use all the time.

Seems like the reason Homarr eats so much memory is that it's built on NodeJS and the Next.js react framework. Most of these tools feel like overkill for what I actually want, which is just a replacement for the new tab/home page in my browser.
