Dashing is a Sinatra-based Ruby framework for building attractive real-time dashboards with widgets, designed to look great on TVs. It is no longer actively maintained by Shopify, with a community fork at dashing-io/dashing.
Use cases
- build a status dashboard for my team's metrics
- display KPIs on an office TV
- create a real-time monitoring wallboard
- show sales or CI metrics on a big screen
- build custom widget-based dashboards in Ruby
When to choose
- you want a simple Ruby-based dashboard framework and don't mind an unmaintained project
- you're displaying simple metrics on a TV or wallboard
- you're willing to use the maintained fork instead
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software with security updates
- you're starting a new project - use the dashing-io fork or modern alternatives like Grafana or Smashing
- you need complex charting or enterprise dashboard features
