Nicole Ahmed (ID: 000000a5eb87142e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/15/2023 Really nice design. Easy to move widgets around and everything looks great. A couple of issues for me: -in weather I couldn't choose anything outside of the Taiwanese cities and counties listed -can't sign in to use calendar etc. -english card wasn't working (but that doesn't bother me) It would be great if there were some custom widgets too - like embedding from other sites. Im specifically interested in https://goblin.tools/ and https://todobot.ai/todos
