This is pretty neat...but is "dashboard" the proper descriptor here? I was expecting something completely different, when I clicked the link. Perhaps "turn your Gist into interactive charts" would be more appropriate?

Perhaps you could edit the data gists and it would work as a dashboard, sort of?

  I would think you can use any source of yml, json. They say you can make your own backend.

    Any CSV/JSON/etc. can be loaded as data. Since components (charts, text, layout, etc.) are just data, this is true of them as well. If you have your own backend you don't need Gists at all.

      I think mentionning gist has set some people on the wrong trail :/

The example in the README is very simplistic, but in principle you can add many different charts in relatively complex layouts, to show all your different KPIs, etc. For now, you only have a few components but I do plan to add more. Tables, tabbed containers etc. Plus I want to add variable support. Here's another example that is just a slightly more complex: http://bottoml.in/e/kantord/57ec4e9533fcc91f8d413cc760fd9bcd http://bottoml.in/e/kantord/57ec4e9533fcc91f8d413cc760fd9bcd And here's the source: https://gist.github.com/kantord/57ec4e9533fcc91f8d413cc760fd9bcd https://gist.github.com/kantord/57ec4e9533fcc91f8d413cc760fd... This example uses JSON format instead of YAML though.

  The first chart on the more company led example doesn’t display correctly in safari on iphone. https://m.imgur.com/NhoGFMg?r https://m.imgur.com/NhoGFMg?r

    Thanks. I'll look into that. Currently I just rely on billboard.js defaults regarding the sizing/internal layout of charts. Looks like this chart just has way too much data for their algorithm.

  This is really cool but I still agree with ryannevius. Interactive charts would be more accurate. When I think dashboard, I think of a live feed of data with various tools for analyzing it.

    I think of charts with data coming from different places, which is exactly what this does.
