I would absolutely love a simply Ruby based way to easily get these together (simple dashboard framework) and pull together the data. Might have to work on that unless someone knows of one already.
- patio11 17y agoI don't know how much mileage you're going to get out of a framework to do it, since many of the bits of data will be coming from diverse sources. For example, mine draws from Rails database models and a few RSS feeds. If you want, I'll show you all of my code in the post this weekend about it (still waiting for the darn hardware to show up). It is inside of 200 lines. The RSS code is so trivial it practically writes itself -- Google [SimpleRSS ruby]. As soon as you've got RSS support you get a lot of things like, e.g., unread email counts from Gmail (or Gmail apps) for free.
- tibbon 17y agoThat would be great. I'd love to see what you're doing. I want to build a small dashboard for at home for personal things and I'd really like to get one up for my company as well. It would be really good for everyone to be able to 'see' when we are productive or not.
