Widget refresh button

Open jwp528 opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Suggested new feature or improvement

It would be nice if I could have a refresh button for my GitHub issues and other dashboard widgets.

Scenario

In the morning I open Dev Home and hit refresh on my GitHub Issues button letting me know all the tickets shown there are up to date and I'm not missing anything.

Additional details

Having this feature would allow me to get a sense of my day without needing to open a browser or the app and viewing each projects dashboard.

I'd push this even further - widgets should auto-refresh regularly. GitHub offers webhooks that could be wired up if things are updated.

@localden The GitHub widgets are supposed to auto-refresh every 5 minutes. (link to where that's set) If it's never refreshing, that sounds like microsoft/devhome#603.

But a refresh button is a good idea and a valid ask. I'm transferring this issue over to that repo.

I'm a big fan of this ask. I often want to refresh to make sure I'm getting the latest data for some of the repos I track on the dashboard.
