Hi Product Hunt 👋 If you own a Starlink, you know everything about your dish lives inside a phone app. I've had mine for three years, and since I work on a laptop all day, checking my connection occasionally meant getting up to go and find my phone. Usually it was in another room or under a cushion. For hardware sitting on my own network, that never stopped being a pain point. There used to be an alternative web portal you could open in any browser, but in 2024 Starlink quietly switched it off and never replaced it. Desktop users have had nothing since. So two weeks ago I built it. Dishylink reads your dish and router directly over your own network, and it does rather more than the old portal ever did. What you get: Live throughput, latency, obstruction and hardware health. A dish alignment view that gives you the exact correction in degrees when you're off target. A 3D view of the satellites overhead, including which one you're actually connected to, and an obstruction time lapse showing what's blocking your sky. Every device on your network with its own data usage. Power draw live plus historical totals by day, week or month, which even the official app won't give you. Alerts and an event log for outages, overheating and weather, that clear themselves when things recover. A latency breakdown that tells you whether the lag is Starlink or your own router. And on supported firmware, controls for snow melt, sleep schedule, update window and reboots. On privacy: no account, no backend, no analytics. It talks to your hardware over your own network and keeps everything on your machine. Nothing reaches me, because there's nowhere for it to go. The source is public if you'd rather verify that than trust me. It's free, it's MIT licensed, and there's no paid tier coming. I shared it on Reddit yesterday, it ended up the top post of the day with 100k+ views and around 3,000 downloads, and the comments made it clear plenty of people have been quietly living with the same annoyance. macOS, Windows, and a Chrome extension. Every dish I've tested works, including Gen 5. I'd genuinely love your feedback, especially the awkward bits. I'm here all day and I'll answer everything.
