Sounds like your browser might not have GPU acceleration on. What frame rate do you get on https://webglsamples.org/aquarium/aquarium.html

Ah, yes! You are correct. Fixing that fixed the game, and bumped fps on that example up from 25 to 100.

Thanks!

We built it from scratch with React Three Fiber, a React library on top of three.js. Super powerful framework.

We'll be doing a full technical breakdown in a few weeks :)

Are the obvious reasons that there is so much more activity in GB and RU than other parts in europe others than one can assume (brexit, sanctions)?

I would love to read about changing patterns because of real life events. (Like the rumour that american water plants have problems during superbowl commercials because of toilet flushing but in a larger scale)

I did the same thing with video over here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6350463

Because it is meant to be a full stack framework.

Also, it's not really a UI kit. Although it comes with premise widgets and styles, these are just suggestions. The real meat is how the data gets to your widgets, letting you do whatever you want with it. That structure is the core of Dashing.

However, there is a decoupled version in the works with the integration guidelines you mention.

I've used other dashboards before, and I found that they are really limiting. For the most part it's because you can't customize the look that much, or it's because you're limited to a list of predefined widgets.

At Dashing's core, it's just a really simple way to fetch data and send it to the client. What you do with that data, and how you display it is up to you. Hopefully the default layout and widgets act as a good starting point.

Good thing the css is completely customizable :)

Come on man! Drink the koolaid and jump on the flat design bandwagon :P

Actually it does run on SmartTVs :). All of our displays at Shopify run this way.

The browser on SmartTVs really suck, and also don't support 1080p for some reason. Since the tv SDK is html/js, I built a super simple app that can point to any Dashing instance, and even use the remote control to switch between dashboards! Super handy.

I will be releasing that functionality soon as a plugin for Dashing.

Disclaimer: I work on the batman.js team

It's an alternative to ember, angular, knockout, backbone, and all those other client side MVC frameworks.

Its main advantage is that it should be very familiar to a Rails developer. The APIs are very close to what you'd find in Rails, so it should be quick to get into it. Shopify, which is built in RoR, now is completely client-side powered by Batman.js. The project was extracted from that.

hey pushmatrix, thanks for replying.

does batman.js have anything like angular's custom directives? are there any other features/advantages a possible adopter should know about besides the similarity to a Rails API?

EDIT: or perhaps phrased a slightly different way: why did you guys decide to create this instead of just using angular or one of the other existing options? or was this created before those options existed or had reached a mature state?

I like it! I think Dashing and Razorflow serve 2 different purposes though. Yours is more of a hands-on & drilldown type dashboard, whereas Dashing is much more optimized for being readonly on a large TV.

Actually, we are working on adding support for TV/Kiosk mode where the components update the data regularly, and you aren't limited to showing only one set of components. The dashboard will slowly and automatically cycle through all different components so even if you have more widgets than your screen can handle, it'll still work better than not being able to work at all.

The main difference is that Dashing is focusing more on current KPIs and Metrics. While we believe that those are crucially important, sometimes they just aren't enough for people who have data that's too much to get condensed down to a single indicator.
