Thanks for your work!

It's worth noting that at the moment the only thing that is really provided is the NetworkTables interface, so it's not *quite* a replacement for SmartDashboard. You'll have to write your own HTML/JS widgets and such -- but this is significantly easier than writing a SmartDashboard widget. I'm hoping over time that pynetworktables2js will be bundled with more and more functions/etc to make it even easier to bind a networktable variable to an HTML button/input/etc.
I'm aware of at least two efforts to create SmartDashboard-like things in HTML/JS, both of which use (or are transitioning to use) pynetworktables2js. Probably by the time next season rolls around they will be even more feature complete.
