FAQ

What is Droppin' Eaves?

A private workspace that watches the sources you connect, builds a dashboard around them, and nudges you when something you care about happens — by inbox, email, or Discord.

How do I get access?

Closed beta is invite-only. If you have an invite, sign up. Otherwise join the waitlist and we'll mail you when a seat opens.

What can I connect?

Public pages and feeds (no account), plus GitHub, GitLab, Gmail, Search Console, Cloudflare, Steam, uptime checks, and Discord or email for alerts. Each card above has the steps.

Where do my secrets go?

API keys and OAuth refresh tokens are encrypted in the vault on our servers. We never put them in the dashboard HTML. Guides under Privacy say what each connection can and can't see.

Dashboard vs /basic?

Your main view can be remixed daily around what you're watching. /basic is the same numbers in a stable layout you can rearrange. Both read the same snapshot.

How do alerts work?

You say what matters in plain language or pick a rule template on Configure. Fires land in the header inbox always; Discord and email respect quiet hours in Settings.
