I quickly made https://time.pablopunk.com/ to display the time. Duuuuude that was so easy. I plan to do more stuff like this in the future, it's so powerful. |

A great use case is using gitstalk. It's super fast so it works really well with Plash. Below is an example of how I use it (dark mode enabled and set the opacity to half): |

I found that the image directly using Unsplash may not be displayed completely in full screen, so I made https://plash-fullscreen.now.sh, you can display any image with the url parameter like this https://plash-fullscreen.now.sh?url=YOUR URL |

Tip: The Plash web view background is transparent. So if you don't set a background color in your website or remove it from a website, your actual wallpaper will show through. This enables a lot of cool use-cases. You could, for example, place something interactive over your normal static wallpaper, or only show a dynamic wallpaper on part of the screen. Example use-case. Show Google Calendar on top of your normal wallpaper

Really happy with how well it works with a gyrosco.pe dashboard (https://gyrosco.pe). The age updates in realtime and I can interact with it even with Browsing Mode disabled. Thanks for another great tool @sindresorhus!

Another nice thing you could do with the transparency support: Show a clock directly on top of your existing wallpaper:

random earth picture site (source google maps) CSS filters though I think some javascript is blocking hide of the thumbs up element and I am unsure how to override style of divs with no id #counter {visibility: hidden}
#search-box {visibility: hidden}
#userinfo {visibility: hidden}
#topmenu {visibility: hidden}
#controls-box {visibility: hidden}
#prev {visibility: hidden}
#next {visibility: hidden}
#disclaimer {visibility: hidden}
#thumbsdown {visibility: hidden}
#thumbsup {visibility: hidden}
#thumbsdown {display: none}
#thumbsup {display: none}
#thumbsup {opacity: 0}then next, how to make it reload periodically? (because it randomizes on reload) |

If you want to use any of these sites without sound -- and Plash's Settings > Advanced > Mute audio doesn't work, like it doesn't on https://archillect.com/tv -- you can use https://github.com/kyleneideck/BackgroundMusic by turning volume all the way down for Plash Graphics and Media |

Tabliss as wallpaperI use the web version tabliss as my desktop wallpaper. It supports random wallpapers from resources like Unsplash, Giphy, and others. It also has widgets such as clocks, to-do lists, weather, calendars, and so on. It is very lightweight on resources and offers extensive customization options. See the screenshots. |

Hello everyone, I've created a simple web app to help you keep track of important dates like exams and deadlines. It's designed to be visually appealing and easy to use, making it a perfect fit for displaying as a background on your MacBook screen using the Plash app. You can check out the app live here: Countdown App
The project is open source and available on GitHub. Feel free to contribute or use it for your own needs: Key Features:
You can create your custom countdown and generate a URL to host it as a background for Plash. Feel free to try it out and implement the URL countdown to your Plash background. I hope you find it helpful! Best regards, |

Wanting to get quicker with keyboard commands... I published a live notion page with a cpu action and the corresponding keyboard shortcut then used plash to show that page as my wallpaper - can always reference it quick if i forget a key. Will add to the list over time and be able to see the progress right on every startup. sweet little tool, thx |
