BeeDashboard is a WordPress plugin that turns WordPress pages into live dashboards.
It lets you create dashboard cards in the block editor and display them on a page using a dashboard board block. Cards can be grouped into boards, and each board can be displayed on a dedicated page.
The goal is to easily build dashboards for TV screens, wall displays, and family information boards.
