| I am seeing an opportunity for a service that provides the following, and perhaps it already exists: 1. A unified source of dashboards/dashboard widgets 2. which accept data in one or more known and well-documented format(s) 3. which are largely configurable and themeable 4. which can be embedded as either a whole dashboard or individual widgets This would allow that service to manage all the hard work of actually developing and maintaining the widgets (including stuff like mobile versions, fallbacks, etc...) and means I could just chuck data at a known config. Or, I could define my dashboard to go fetch that data and then have it displayed on the service's (custom branded) page. Sure there are libraries that do parts of this, but nothing that really focuses on providing a whole-dashboard set of features and isn't quite opinionated on both how the overall dashboard should look and how each widget should behave. But for now, I'll just keep writing all these widgets myself ... sigh. |
