To be honest I don't understand why should a dashboard framework need MongoDB
to display widgets from external sources.
[shameless plug] We're also building an open-source dashboards framework https://github.com/kittoframework/kitto

#82How does this compare to something like Grafana? https://github.com/grafana/grafana
Hi, Cyclotron developer here. I think it's fair to say Cyclotron is a bit more open-ended in terms of what you can build, whereas Grafana dashboards are a bit more structured and tend to look more similar. While Cyclotron provides common widgets and dashboard functionality, it also makes it easy to add custom HTML, JavaScript, CSS, etc. This broadens the potential use cases quite a bit. The downside of being more open-ended is that it doesn't provide the same level of rich interactivity out of the box, which Grafana does.
Additionally, when Cyclotron started, it supported pulling data from a handful of different data sources, whereas Grafana was focused on Graphite. Grafana has definitely come a long way in the last year in this regard though.

#86How is this different from potential alternatives like Geckoboard, Ducksboard and all those? Is it essentially not just another one?

#87I find the name slightly disrespective of people who develop and work with actual cyclotrons (particle accelerators). How is their application related to cyclotrons?
Re: Cyclotron: A web application for constructing dashboards
#88That name may have a negative ring, as a cyclotron is also a cancer imaging device : https://www.mskcc.org/blog/how-new-particle-accelerator-will...
Technically speaking, a cyclotron is just a type of particle accelerator. In medicine I suppose it can imply something more specific (PET imaging but also proton therapy).

#89This scared me a little bit. We've been doing a similar product https://vida.io. I think we've got a lot further with many components and dashboards, see https://vida.io/explore. At the same time, I'm pretty excited to see someone has similar vision about custom data visualizations.
Re: Cyclotron: A web application for constructing dashboards
#90I would like to share some thoughts on this based on experience of being a crusty old enterprise developer. The dashboard problem keeps coming back. I think the time might be finally coming for some dashboard framework to actually succeed. A dashboard framework has been tried many many times. Here are some old ones just on the top of my head: * Shindig aka OpenSocial aka Google Gadgets * J2EE portlets * OpenUSS I'm n…
Are there any nice Jenkins plugins for making a decent dashboard?
