To reproduce:

• Copy the files below
• npm install
• ./node_modules/.bin/coffee app.coffee

Set "repoProblem" to true to make the problem happen, and to false to make the app run WAY faster and not run out of memory. :)

Graphing Widget

The graphing widget shows graphs using the Rickshaw graphing library. The names of data fields should be (vaguely) familiar if you've used Rickshaw before.

It's recommended that you replace the /assets/javascripts/rickshaw.min.js from your dashboard with the latest from here.

Supported HTML data fields

So, you made a change to your dashboard, and now you have to run all over the building, plugging in a keyboard, and reloading the dashboard on the various TVs in your office. What if you could reload all the dashboard from the comfort of your desk?

Add this widget to the very bottom of your dashboard, after the "gridster" div:

<div class="gridster">
  <ul>
    <li data-row="1" data-col="1" data-sizex="1" data-sizey="1">
      <div data-view="Image" data-image="/benbria/loop.png" style="background-color:#666766"></div>
    </li>

Dashing widget to display a random cute picture from http://reddit.com/r/aww

The display of the widget is heavily based on the Image widget, however it does not prepend the src with 'assets' which allows for external images.

Settings

You can set a placeholder image in the event that reddit is down, or otherwise unresponse. This is set at the top of random_aww.rb as follows:

Fetches times for the next buses at a given OC Transpo stop.

Flying Widgets adds CSS3 transitions to your dashboard, allowing you to cycle through multiple widget sets on a single TV without page reloads, using stylish CSS3 transitions. You can even still re-order your widgets and save their locations!

Note that sinatra-cyclist is a potential alternative if the machine you use to display your dashboards is lacking in graphics horsepower.

To use, put this file in assets/javascripts/cycleDashboard.coffee. Then find this line in application.coffee:

    $('.gridster ul:first').gridster
