Stack
Tiles on pages in one spot, switched by tabs, by swiping or by itself.
Official, in the community Tiledash’s own, as @tiledash/stack. It’s in every account’s widget picker, nothing to install, and gets better by itself. About the community

Use it when a dashboard has more to show than room for. A stack holds tiles of any widget on pages, in one spot of the dashboard, and shows one page at a time: the lights on one page, the climate on the next, the cameras on a third. Only the page in view is drawn and live, so a stack with many tiles stays light.
You switch pages with tabs, by swiping, or let the stack turn by itself every few seconds, like a rotating display. On a wall panel, swiping a stack turns its pages and not the panel. Each screen remembers the page it was on. A page with no tile showing is skipped, and a stack with nothing to show says so, or hides itself if its tile is set to.
To make one from tiles you already have, select them while editing and choose Stack these, as one page or a page each, then Undo if it isn’t what you wanted. Or add a Stack from the widget picker and fill it from Pages. The guide’s Stack tiles section goes through it. On an e-ink screen a stack never turns by itself, and screens with a very basic browser, such as some e-readers, don’t draw its pages yet.
