@nickolas_eek1 So it turns out there was indeed a location bug. We've fixed it and it's been approved in the App Store. As soon as it propagates you can grab the update. Thanks!

This is looking super cool! It wasn't 100% clear from the video, but can widgets also take user input after their setup @rickellis ?

@t_jaeger Widgets are non-interactable because they reside on a webkit layer that sits just above the desktop but below the folders and files. You can interact with the widgets when you are editing them, but not during normal operations. That said, we would like to add the ability to interact with widgets. We just need to solve how that would actually work in a way that is seamless and doesn't interfere with normal operations.

Hi Product Hunters! Rick and Jordan Ellis here—developers of Hologram. The idea for Hologram came after we asked ourselves whether the Mac desktop could be transformed into a more functional and fun environment. Hologram is our answer to that question. What excites us most is that Hologram widgets are built using web technologies (HTML, CSS, and Javascript). That means anyone experienced developing stuff for the web will be able to craft their own unique widgets. And just about anything that can be created for the web can be turned into a widget. Hologram ships with 26 included widgets (and more available at our site) that do things like show the weather, display system information, monitor the battery level, show the phase of the moon, give inspirational quotes or jokes, and much more. Widgets are fully customizable, and they can even automatically select colors from your wallpaper for a perfect match every time you switch wallpapers. But our vision is for there to be an entire ecosystem of widgets built by people around the world and freely shared on our website. If you’re curious how widgets are made, you can check out the developer docs on our website. Hologram includes a widget dev framework and APIs. On the wallpaper front, we’ve partnered with the three top image services in the world—Unsplash, Pexels, and Pixabay—and integrated their vast libraries of over 5 million images into Hologram so that users can quickly and efficiently search for new wallpapers. One click downloads the image and sets your desktop. And because Hologram is theme-based, it’s amazingly easy to build large collections of wallpapers and widgets, each with an entirely different look and feel. Hologram is what wallpaper management should be. We have big plans for Hologram. We hope you’ll join us on the journey, and say goodbye to a boring desktop!

Hologram looks very cool. I’m just about to upgrade to Big Sur, so might just take the plunge and grab this once I have.

This is super cool — love that it brings back the magic of dashboard widgets and modernizes the underlying HTML/JS/CSS framework!

Love it. I'm just beginning to explore the widget side of things but the search capability makes it so much easier to keep things lively on your desktop.
