What is the best way to get a web-based dashboard -- Castor, for example -- displaying on a wall-mounted television? Is it possible to do it through an AppleTV?
I'd use a raspberry pi set up as a kiosk. If you google 'raspberry pi kiosk mode' there should be a fair handful of simple tutorials.
One of the things that really hit home at my last job and that I see missing from a lot of these dashboards is comparative context. So I walk in in the morning and we have a dashboard for vists and signups / payments and it shows lots of visits and no payments. Is that normal? Is that expected or concerning? Without showing what it was yesterday at the same time or on the same day last week, or weekly/monthly avg how…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well there's Dashing from Shopify which has been around since 2012. We use it at the office and are happy with it. https://github.com/Shopify/dashing
Apparently dashing is not being maintained anymore. Check its homepage. http://dashing.io
Grafana is a push model, while Dashing is a pull model.
Grafana is pretty tough on RAM and svg usage. Try to use pngs and the UI is harder to adopt.

Looker is probably my favorite currently but it depends on your needs really.
you should check the readme, I got a 404 error at https://docs.getcastor.com/getting-started.md
Hey Guys! Congratulations on the launch. I have a question, if you dont mind. I'm someone, who's been trying to build out simple SAAS business myself and wanted to understand the impact of using price arbitrage as a sales strategy. (which in Castor's case is dramatically underpriced compared to geckoboard and others.)
Just my experience with SaaS, usually they start with ridiculously low price to capture the market. After you have established yourself, you can increase your price and grandfather early customers. You can even force your free users to upgrade to a paid plan by stating that ("upgrade now to lock old price! limited time only!").
As an aside, I noticed the above-the-fold design is very similar to [ElementFE]( http://element.eleme.io/#/en-US ). What's up with that? Did this particular design with the slanted line originate somewhere else or are they the same people perhaps?
