Looks like a hosted equivalent of GeckoBoard[0], which I have used successfully for uptime and key metric boards that are displayed in common room dedicated TV screens etc.

One key is getting decent render performance on low-spec hardware (i.e. a Rasberry Pi). Not something you usually think about when building/evaluating a web app, but those low-spec "boxes" crawl on most modern web-sites.

Yet there shouldn't be any reason why a dashboard couldn't be rendered on them!

I wonder how Cyclotron performs with it's JS heavy front-end on those types of dedicated dashboard devices?
