Ask HN: What software do you use that you wish it had a pretty web dashboard?
I'd like to create a shiny web-based admin/interface/gui for a software that is lacking it as a side project.
Is there something that you use or have to use that makes you wish it had a web UI available?
I'm thinking along the lines of developer-oriented or DevOps-related pieces of software that sit in the background and work nicely but lack something to let you be more proactive and explore things around rather than running a specific command on the command line and so on.
For example a GUI for Redis or Beanstalkd can be highlighted as examples (I know they exist).
My aim is to do this nicely for a niche software and hopefully make a little side income with a basic commercial licensing.
Interested to hear your thoughts.

- pc86 11y agoNothing that I use day-to-day comes to mind for your desired use case, however I did want to say I think this is a great idea, and provided you don't run into licensing or other legal issues, on the surface at least it has the possibility to result in some revenue for you.
- moehm 11y agoI thought about one for systemd. I guess it would look similar to monit though. Rsyslog would be interesting too, but it already has loganalyzer.

- Coxa 11y agoI have been working in such a thing for a openvpn server. (https://github.com/AuspeXeu/openvpn-status https://github.com/AuspeXeu/openvpn-status) but it's fast from feature complete. one could think of actually storing a history, adding capabilities to generate client configurations over the web interface etc.
- mahmoudimus 11y agoSeconded. I put a comment on OpenVPN but deleted it to support this.
