My first Meteor app.
I tried out a few different techniques here and I know it's not all perfect but as long as I can look at my numbers I don't mind for now... :)
It's only really intended to work in WebKit browsers (Chrome, Safari etc...) and I made it 1024x768 because I wanted it to look good on my iPad. (Where the post-its don't drag-and-drop properly yet... :-/ )
This dashboard pulls in data from:
- Google Analytics
- Soundcloud
- Github
- YouTube
You can add post-its and drag them about - anybody else looking at the app will see these post-its. It's REAL TIME WHOAHHH!
I had a crack at using the d3 library to do a chart. Feel like I still have a lot to learn here...
This includes my own handwriting font. For free. Imagine that.
The patterns are from the wonderful subtlepatterns.com.
The design is (cough) "inspired by" ducksboard.com. Go and use their service if you don't want to have to be a developer to use this ;)
If you want to run this on your own machine. Do this:
- Install meteor:
curl install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
- Get the code (ideally from your own fork though):
git clone https://github.com/goodtohear/dash.git
- Edit the API keys file*
cd dash
edit server/config.coffee
- Run the app:
meteor
And you should see it running if you point your browser at http://localhost:3000
* Or remove any widgets you don't need by editing templates/dash.html
