Keep it running
Panels
Keep any answer on your desktop as a small live window: your stocks, a build's status, open pull requests, refreshed on your schedule.

How it works
A panel remembers the sentence that made it, so any answer can become one and refreshing simply asks again. It shows when it last updated; a refresh that fails keeps what was there and says why.
Panels stay where you put them, at the size you gave them, and belong to the desk they were made on.
Limits
- Refreshes at most once a minute, and only while Jevie is running.
