Someone made this, which is mindblowing!

In a similar vein, I've also seen Nextcloud used for this purpose.
I just installed homepage https://gethomepage.dev
Haven't looked into actually extending it with custom widgets since I'd also like bus times.
I'm planning in having it in an unused tablet I have around.
This looks promising, thanks!
Made a post showing my homepage on Lemmy a couple weeks ago! https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f9a05589-f82d-4771-a1b3-80a351235c92.png
The first thing that springs to mind is something like a "magic mirror". I haven't delved into it a ton, but I'm fairly certain that it would be able to hit most of your criteria.
That being said, I'd think it could be a decent enough starting point to at least find other things in the same vein.
Yes you're right, what I'm thinking of is basically a magic mirror without the mirror. Thanks for the link, I will check that out!
I use Flame Dashboard for something similar to this. It uses a simple sqllite database, so i just whipped together a few python scripts that gather information such as my to do list, calendar, gir repos, etc and update the database table it uses.
I use Heimdall. It is basic and simple to setup. I tried Organizr but it was more customization than I was looking for.
Hey, just wanted to share this one so you have more options. https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#personal-dashboards
If you want to skip the web browser + server part (well, sort of), you could also build your dashboard as an electron or nwjs app. That way you can easily make it go fullscreen on its own and it doesn't come with most browser UI around your page. It's still running essentially Chrome, but it has some advantages if you need to interact with system things, run shell commands at the press of a button, etc.
Organizr might be the closest thing you're looking for
