I created Kitto a framework for dashboards inspired by Dashing.

demo

The distributed characteristics of Elixir and the low memory footprint (compared to Ruby/Rails) make it ideal for a dashboard server. It feels familiar to users of Dashing and provides a DSL to define jobs.

# File jobs/random.ex
use Kitto.Job.DSL

job :random, every: :second do
  broadcast! :random, %{value: :rand.uniform * 100 |> Float.round}
end

The front end uses React/Webpack (which are really widespread) so it should be easy to dive in and code widgets without having to learn yet another framework.

Currently i’m expanding the wiki and general documentation so to make it as straightforward as possible to use.

You’re welcome to try it, make suggestions and if you evaluate it positively, help me get it in awesome elixir.
