What is evidence?

A unified dashboard for self-hosted services. One URL to access everything — pretty, lightweight, highly customizable.

Clear use cases

• SQL statements inside markdown files run queries against your data sources
• Charts and components are rendered using these query results
• Templated pages generate many pages from a single markdown template
• Loops and If / Else statements allow control of what is displayed to users
• Self-hosted options include Netlify, Vercel, your own infra, and other static site hosting platforms.

The biggest strength is one bookmark to rule them all — replace dozens of management tabs.

Best for anyone running >5 self-host services wanting a unified, pretty status page.
