Very pretty. I like how you can host it/hack it. I will definitely give it a try. We have a 70" I try and display real-time metrics on, and praise from customers, winning A/B tests, etc.

For a hosted alternative, I've been using https://www.leftronic.com/ for a project at work and have been really impressed with their built-in widgets and their support is A+. When I had trouble uploading spreadsheets of data they fixed me right up.

I'm glad this got an update. I tried using it a few weeks ago and a few things seemed broken. Glad it's had new life breathed into it. The HTML5 stuff looks especially cool!

Beautiful graphs.

I really wanted this to work for me months ago when it was first posted on HN, but ran into trouble getting it setup.

Will definitely re-visit - thank you!

I really like that one. Now if someone could fix this issue we could even deploy it on heroku again: https://github.com/paulasmuth/fnordmetric/issues/90

By "someone should fix this issue" you mean "Heroku should add web-socket support". And they are.

Also, check out Dashing at http://shopify.github.com/dashing/ which we released at Shopify. It's optimized to run on your extra laptop screen via https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/looking-glass/id584492076?mt... or on your Samsung SmartTV ( it supports switching dashboards via tv remote )

I used Leftronic to create a dashboard at a previous company. The built-in widgets were not as flexible as I’d have liked but good enough, and it was pretty convenient to move widgets and add new ones. We open-sourced our code to upload custom data to the dashboard, so you can see what using the API looks like: https://github.com/NeomindLabs/neomind-dashboard-public
