DinkyDash is a simple, customizable dashboard designed to display family-oriented information such as recurring tasks, countdowns to special events, and daily rotations. It's perfect for mounting on a Raspberry Pi with a display in a common area of your home, providing at-a-glance information for all family members.

DinkyDash is great for quickly answering those questions that kids like to ask again and again and again and again.

• "How many days till Christmas?"
• "Who's turn is it to take the trash out?"
• "When is my birthday party?"

The dashboard shows:

• Today's date
• Recurring tasks or roles (e.g., who's turn it is to do the dishes)
• Countdowns to important dates (birthdays, holidays, events)

DinkyDash is built with Flask and can be easily configured using a YAML file, making it simple to update and maintain without diving into the code.

• Backend: Python 3 with Flask
• Frontend: HTML5 and CSS (Bootstrap 5)
• Configuration: YAML

1. app.py: The main Flask application that serves the dashboard.
2. config.yaml: Configuration file for customizing dashboard content.
3. templates/index.html: The single-page template for the dashboard display.
4. run_app.sh: Bash script to start the Flask application.
