General Discussion • Rainmeter as a Frontend

Hi,

Been tasked with setting up a statuspage, where the intent is to give easy access to core information.
For some reason I started thinking of Rainmeter for the first time in, I dunno, 15+ years maybe? And I started wondering if it could work as a front end for my statuspage, so yesterday I started working on it and I've got this so far:

So to my question: Does anyone else have any experience in doing the same? Thinking in terms of data-collection and displaying of info, recommended design practices, experiences with scaling up for more users in terms of high server load and other issues. Really any experiences anyone had with doing similar things?

My intent is to create multiple skins for different departments, and to use AD-groups to decide who gets assigned which skins.
I've implemented resolution handling, and created skins for all common resolutions.
I've also implemented some AutoHotKey functionality, like holding ALT+SHIFT to display the skins and hiding them when releasing the buttons. This way the Rainmeter setup also works as a launch panel, giving access to essentially any application, website or local/unc path the employees will need.
