Smashing is a Sinatra-based Ruby framework for building attractive, widget-based dashboards, serving as the maintained successor to Shopify's Dashing. Widgets are built with SCSS, HTML, and CoffeeScript, with data pushed via an API and dashboards designed to look great on TVs.
Use cases
- build a metrics dashboard for a TV in the office
- display service status and monitoring KPIs on a wallboard
- create custom dashboards with widgets in HTML and CoffeeScript
- push data from scripts or databases to a live dashboard
- host a team dashboard on Heroku
- replace the unmaintained Dashing project
When to choose
- you want a Ruby-based dashboard framework with premade and custom widgets
- you need a self-hosted wallboard display for metrics or status pages
- you are migrating from Shopify's Dashing
When to avoid
- you need a modern JavaScript/React dashboard stack
- you require heavy customization beyond widget-based layouts
- you need a project with frequent releases and active development
