Feature ideas

The ability to create personal dashboards without the admin needed to modify the permissions only to me

Introduce a feature in Port allowing individual developers/members to customize their own homepages, in addition to the existing global homepage customization option.

I would like to proactively refresh my iframe widget without leaving the current screen.

Similar to native inheritance in blueprints , it would be nice to have a similar idea available within widgets - with a bit of twist. Today, the only widgets that can be added to a dashboard page are the built-in ones. We find ourselves making similar opinionated widget instances over and over (e.g., repositories are the center of our universe, and several pages contain a table widget of repositories - the only difference being the title/description of the widget, and an additional filter or two applied to the table config itself). While having some level of widget inheritance would be nice to speed up creation, the bigger need feels like it would be ongoing maintenance. If we decide to change the displayed attributes, or reorder them, or any other UX-type change, that same change needs to be manually propagated across all similar instances (to keep the experience consistent for the user). If instead I could configure/maintain a new type of widget ("repository table"?) that had some opinionated configuration (and allowed for minimal configuration - title/description/additional filters?), then both creation of a new instance on a dashboard page and ongoing maintenance of all of the existing instances of that widget would be significantly simplified.

As a Port admin, I would like to visualize the valuable contextual data in Port in ways that are customizable to me. Currently, this is limited to pie charts and line charts. While this is probably sufficient for many people, it would be nice to be able to add some enhanced visualization options to Port. For example, this could be a Python interpreter inside Port that can use bokeh, plotly, or some other open source visualization library. These support iFrame visualizations, which could therefore limit the need for Port to support these types of visualizations natively, and would allow for full customization of colors, shapes, sizes, etc.

Currently, colours can only be designated to descrete enum and calculation values. It would be great if the colours instead could be assigned based on JQ logic. For example: The number of ready pods should be coloured green if the number of ready pods is equal to or higher than the numer of desired pods.

When grouping by a column it would be awesome to be able to limit the amount of rows we want to show in a group, this could help to show latest 5 items added into a group

Entities can change over the course of their lifetime. As a result, their scorecards can also change, and those entities can move between different tiers. It would be helpful to have the option to view the scorecard history of an entity, how the entity has moved between scorecard tiers, and also being able to tie the change to the audit log, and see what specific change in the entity properties caused the scorecard tier to move.

For many pie charts, it's intuitive to click on a slice and drill down into it/see more information about the slice. This can be achieved by linking to the relevant page in the software catalog.

Would be very useful to have a widget with list of links directly to specific pages in the catalog
