I know people like wallboards and monitors but we found them anti-pattern. If you find yourself looking at a wallboard/dashboard, it should already be an automated alert.
But visualising the data and alerting are two different things.

What would your alert be for # open PRs (an example in the demo linked from posted page)? How often would it fire?
Whatever the answer, that's a different thing from this. Both have their place.

#13The first UI config example has a PING tile, but PING type seems to be disabled by default, and I can't find how to enable it in the docs. So maybe a good thing to make more clear for people wanting to test quickly.

If you just want to have a nice visualization to look at some numbers, fine. But, if you want to detect problems, it's ineffective. I saw too many companies do it to actually monitor the state of things and find out problems with charts, numbers, traffic lights etc.

#15Cool item but didn’t scale well for mobile (iOS iPhone XS Plus)

#16Could you grab and parse content with this?
I'm not really using CI stuff, but showing events (calendar), grabbing weather data or output from other simple commands (health checks) could be of use. Didn't find any of that in the example tiles

Yep, check HTTP-FORMATTED tile :)
You can display content from JSON, YAML or XML available over HTTP

oh didn't see that HTTP-RAW also returns the regex match.
Thanks.
will give it a try
Any possibility for command outputs thought?

You can do both. Especially at the beginning of a system's lifecycle and you don't really understand its behavior yet. Lots of times, people wandering by have said hmm, that doesn't seem right… Later, as we learned more, these hunches evolved into more advanced automated alarms.
