We’ve been exploring how to make indoor air healthier — and while monitor selection matters, what you do with the data matters even more. That’s why we built the Hong Kong Online Dashboard : a free, open‑source tool that brings together real‑time AQHI, pollutants, weather, UV, and humidity — all synced by district, all in one place. Every reading is timestamped and sourced, so you know exactly what you’re looking at. It’s not just a dashboard — it’s a starting point: Use it for free. Fork it, adapt it, extend it. Say hi, star the repo , or buy me a coffee ☕ if it helps you out. Why this dashboard is different Unified view: No more switching between apps — everything’s here. Transparency: Every reading is timestamped and sourced. Local relevance: Tailored for Hong Kong districts. Extendable: Add your own sensor data, traffic, news, or smart home triggers. Community‑re...
