Dashboard supporting d3 [closed]

Question

I'm interested in a web-based dashboard with some sort of d3.js library widget or more general javascript support. I've been trying geckoboard's HighCharts widget but I'm not especially happy with the results (a little limited for what I'm looking for). Any ideas?

Answer 1

I think jslate is just that: highcharts + d3.

Answer 2

I personally am finding D3 to be very powerful. There are a number of different solutions that allow the development of interactive dashboards. The only problem I've found is that the library is still rather new and has limited user documentation that helps clearly show examples of how to use the majority of what's specified in its API. I typically find the answers to my questions by scouring through the complex examples that are out there. However, once you start to learn it you realize just how impressive it really is.

I'm working on building my own dashboards using charts and have been able to build the following examples...

• Multiple Pie Charts Mixed In With Common HTML Layout Constructs
• Multiple Vertical Bar Charts Mixed In With Common HTML Layout Constructs

Each is the beginning of an attempt to get to more complex dashboards that will mix different types of charts and visualizations.

I hope this helps.
