SmartDashboard.js - a WebKit-based dashboard in node.js

[euhlmann]

I'm proud to introduce a project I've been working on - SmartDashboard.js

SmartDashboard.js is an extensible node-webkit based NetworkTables client for building beautiful dashboard interfaces

Like the official dashboards, it has:

• Similar widgets for number, boolean, string, and array types
• Search for variables (from SFX)
• Support for MJPEG and USB camera streams (from SD 1)
• Layout containers (from SFX)
• Support for plugins
• DriverStation docking (from LV dashboard)

Why?
I made this for the purpose of being less of a hassle to use than SD 1 or SFX. HTML seems inherently better suited for building editable UIs than Swing or JavaFX. SmartDashboard.js also combines the best features from each of the official dashboards (that I found were missing in the other official dashboards), and it's meant to be fully customizable, with support for custom plugins and themes.

First thought: come on JS-based SD was my idea stop no

Second thought: Actually it's pretty different. Looks very nice. Good job!

I saw yours too, and it's pretty cool as well. I think we have different goals in mind.

(technically, my project is also 9 days older )

Yeah, they're definitely very different when you look at them closely.

I very much like how yours can be configured live. That's something mine is very weak in.

Good job!
