Exceptionally 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.
- pushmatrix 14y agoCome on man! Drink the koolaid and jump on the flat design bandwagon :P
- silverbax88 14y agoI love the idea of a dashboard framework but under no circumstances am I going to make it harder on my users by adopting that Live tiles nonsense. Will be glad when that trend quickly runs its course.
- pushmatrix 14y agoGood thing the css is completely customizable :)
- kgosser 14y agoWhat terrible trolling. Just change the CSS template! Gah.
- pestaa 14y agoIs 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?
- mnicole 14y agoBecause it takes a few minutes of time you're already going to spend implementing it for a someone to change it?
- davefp 14y agoDashing contributor here: That's great, the default style isn't supposed to be a one-size-fits-all solution, and it's definitely not trying to dictate design decisions. The real meat of the project is the underlying messaging that passes your data from the server to multiple clients. You write a job that calls send_data, and Dashing takes care of the rest. There's room for as much customization as you like on the front end.
- SEJeff 14y agoAre there any plans to have native graphite input widgets? This is super cool: http://thomasvm.github.com/blog/2012/11/19/bling-dashboards-using-graphite-and-dashing/ http://thomasvm.github.com/blog/2012/11/19/bling-dashboards-... But I don't understand why native graphite widgets aren't in dashing. These two projects (graphite + dashing) are literally made for eachother.
- davefp 14y agoDashing was built to run the internal dashboards here at Shopify. As such it's biased towards our existing technology stack. Seeing as we don't use graphite, we had no need to include widgets that support it. That's why we want people to submit third-party widgets and jobs. We can't cater to all environments ourselves, but others can help out and share their own.
- louthy 14y agoIronically it doesn't work on IE10 on Win8.
- birchbird 14y agoWell it's always good to jump on the latest trend, you know. Many apps, including Chrome, are adopting this design style.
