While I'm sure it looks fantastic on a dedicated monitor/tv, it's lack of a responsive layout limits it's use in my books
Looking at something like http://dash.social-biblio.ca/torontolibrary on a sub 1080p monitor is less than optimal.

Re: Dashing - A dashboard framework
#42Everyone complaining about the Flat UI. Isn't the use case for something like this to be displayed on a TV or large monitor around the office anyway? Seems like one place where the flat UI would be OK.
I'm not a Win 8 fan by any means, but I think this dashboard looks good. The bright/contrasty colors are exactly what are needed to broadcast metrics across the office.

#44This is great demo. But i really don't know, do everyone have the same use case? There is so many library that work great in demo, but doesn't suit my use case. I hate to build my own library (if i am able to use existing lib, why creating new?), but i must do this because some library/framework isn't really customizable. The time cost between customizing existing lib and creating new lib is the same, so i prefer to create my own library most of my time.

I've used other dashboards before, and I found that they are really limiting. For the most part it's because you can't customize the look that much, or it's because you're limited to a list of predefined widgets.
At Dashing's core, it's just a really simple way to fetch data and send it to the client. What you do with that data, and how you display it is up to you. Hopefully the default layout and widgets act as a good starting point.

#46Hey everyone! Dashing creator here. Thanks for the frontpage :) I have good news for you all. Dashing will be evolving soon to support multiple backends. Already there are ports being written for python, perl, .net, and also better rails integration. Stay tuned! P.S: Sorry for the downtime. Was not expecting frontpage. While I work on getting it stable, enjoy this screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/321Y2V361X1r
Great work - this looks amazing. Do you have a mailing list I can subscribe to to get notification of when the .net version becomes available? Thanks!

#48Exceptionally handsome if you like Windows 8 perhaps. I don't like the big rectangles with bright colors. A good dashboard should be almost invisible until something important happens.
What terrible trolling. Just change the CSS template! Gah.

Is it trolling, though? Why should I see the potential in this dashboarding utility when there are dozens out there understanding the benefits of good visualizations, using proper colors for different situations?

Bright colors are exactly what are needed when something needs attention. This just yells "look, your most important metric just went up by 0.007%!"
