Show HN: Check the things that matter to you in the menubar

The part that appealed to me the most: unlike other apps where you have to select from a list of integrations, you can literally craft a HTTP request like in Postman to get data from any API: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getradar.co&#x2F;docs&#x2F;adding-data" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;getradar.co&#x2F;docs&#x2F;adding-data</a>

It’s a nice utility but I feel it is another activity that will further sap our focus. As if social media hasn’t done enough damage by utilizing “easy” to get our attention.

This is a great idea but just so developers know, you can do some great stuff with google sheets, I made one with google sheets and the built-in request object via google sheet scripting to do REST requests for data and found that to be super useful. You can then tie it in to calculations and totals etc. using spreadsheet functionality...but this is nice for a quick summary with little effort.

Bitbar also does a decent job on Macos

Love it, especially the no account part.

Unfortunately the things that I keep checking don&#x27;t have an API. So I&#x27;ve been looking for something like this that scrapes - and that can detect if it&#x27;s a login page and log me in.<p>I realize that it&#x27;s unlikely that I&#x27;ll ever find it but I don&#x27;t have the time to make it myself atm.

Like the local data approach, but was surprised to read for at least the Google Analytics option your OAuth token is routed through Radar services (even if it’s use is then local), which feels a bit of a bummer when the effort was otherwise there to be all local.

The site says that &quot;Radar is entirely free for open-source maintainers.&quot;. Can you please elaborate on this? I understand it as if you&#x27;re contributing to any open-source software, and can prove it, you will get won&#x27;t be asked to pay?

Trying to install the cryptocurrency extension, but it&#x27;s not working for me. Opening the XDG link from Chrome doesn&#x27;t affect Radar. Running Ubuntu 18.04.

Neat idea! If the author is checking the comments, videos don&#x27;t work on Firefox Android (they do on Chrome Android).

How much are you thinking in terms of price? I&#x27;d be willing to pay between $10 and $20 USD.

Raycast does it as a spotlight replacement.<p>I contributed a minor update to the Gitlab scripts.<p>Can recommend

What is the minimum refresh interval for auto-refresh?

Based on the photo this isn’t in the menu bar. It’s something I can see in a menu that I can get to from the menu bar.
