It does. The original version didn't, but I decided to throw it in in the end to see what the fuss was all about. It gave nice resize responsiveness which is cool, but pretext is not a requirement for this effect

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

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 :)

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

They won't be maintained by Shopify. Only the frontend & ruby backend will be under Shopify.

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.

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.

Here's some inspiration:

I was sleeping when I got news of Dashing being at the top :S. Haha. While I work on getting it stable, enjoy this screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/321Y2V361X1r
