I never understand why people choose MIT when they create something valuable and don't go for AGPL or GPL. Looks good though :D
Why MongoDB for what is pretty much a front-end :( What's wrong with SQLite?
I'm no longer involved in the project, but Mongo is probably still a good choice.
Looks like a hosted equivalent of GeckoBoard[0], which I have used successfully for uptime and key metric boards that are displayed in common room dedicated TV screens etc. One key is getting decent render performance on low-spec hardware (i.e. a Rasberry Pi). Not something you usually think about when building/evaluating a web app, but those low-spec "boxes" crawl on most modern web-sites. Yet there shouldn't be any…
- It can be used to create business quality reports / dashboards that can be exported to PDF. - Internally we use a few custom data tools that make the process of getting data to a dashboard (securely) a breeze. Unfortunately, they're not open source, but it's a big differentiator. - Versioning: See what changed from one version to the next, roll back to a previous version, or just view older versions. - Environments: Have a dev, test, and prod environment? With one click you can deploy it to another environment. Deploy too soon? Feel free to roll back. - Really good documentation: You'll need to have it install to view as it's not on the cyclotron.io site. But it's strait-forward to read the code: https://github.com/ExpediaInceCommercePlatform/cyclotron/tre...
Edit. To be clear I mean forums where business intelligence, data science, dashboard folks hang out. I work with Tableau and they have a big community, I am looking for sites less tableau centric...
I 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…
I work in an industrial manufacturing plant. My Manager is always going on about dashboards almost every week I hear something like "I'd love to see this on a dashboard" (usually referring to something on an existing printed report). He has been saying this for years and no usable dashboards have ever materialized. I think the biggest issue is no one in our organisation has a clear idea what a 'dashboard' is exactly…
What do most people use for this kind of use case, assuming changing of the values needs to be scriptable?

this one looks good and it uses postgres
> this one looks good and it uses postgres Where did you see that it uses Postgres? I think it stores its data in json files.
On a side note, any site like HN for data systems, BI, dashboards? Edit. To be clear I mean forums where business intelligence, data science, dashboard folks hang out. I work with Tableau and they have a big community, I am looking for sites less tableau centric...

Since we are talking about licenses, is there a license that is as permissive as MIT but one that requires you to give credit for your work?
What do you mean by "give credit"? You have to name the original author with MIT somewhere: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

Of course - that's a feature of the GPL - not a bug.
"It only works if everybody does it" is not a feature or a bug, but a recipe for irrelevance at best and coercion at worst.
