    Assign the dashboard to a screen. It goes live on the display.
    The Screens page in Dance Party where you pair a display and assign a dashboard.

Read-only, always. You paste a personal access token scoped to read_api. Dance Party stores it encrypted and reads your merge requests, pipelines, and issues only. It never pushes, merges, or edits anything in GitLab, and you can revoke the token in GitLab any time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I show a GitLab dashboard on a TV?

Yes. Connect GitLab, describe the dashboard, and your AI builds it. It runs on an Apple TV, a native tvOS app, on any office display. Always on, and it refreshes on its own.

Is the GitLab connection read-only?

Yes. You paste a personal access token scoped to read_api. Dance Party stores it encrypted and reads your merge requests, pipelines, and issues to render dashboards. It never pushes, merges, or edits anything in GitLab.

Does it work with self-managed GitLab?

Yes. Dance Party works with GitLab.com and self-managed instances. You point it at your own GitLab base URL and paste a read_api token, and it reads over your instance's API the same way.

What GitLab dashboards can I build?

Open merge requests by project, merges by engineer, pipeline status, successful deployments, issues opened versus closed, and a celebration when a merge request merges. You describe it in plain English and your AI builds it.

Do I need to write code or build the dashboard myself?

No. There is no query, no API script, and no drag-and-drop editor. You connect GitLab, describe what you want, and your AI builds the dashboard and deploys it to a screen.
