Kitto: A framework for interactive dashboards
I created Kitto a framework for dashboards inspired by Dashing.
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.

New Security release for Kitto.
The latest v0.5.2 release contains various security fixes listed below:
3 security vulnerabilities have been disclosed to us by @griffinbyatt
- Directory Traversal
- XSS in 404 page
- DoS from query parameter conversion to Atoms (since they’re not Garbage-Collected)
https://github.com/kittoframework/kitto/commit/5323717e4ac978144bcf89169dce9d79a4c2bdb6
Please mind to upgrade.
Special thanks to @davejlong and @griffinbyatt for the their swift and responsible work.

I had plans from the beginning to diverge from Dashing/Smashing and that’s why there’s nowhere in the documentation a promise for compatibility between the projects. Building it on some of the conventions of Dashing though can hopefully make people using it more productive and eager to port existing dashboards to Kitto (and even find an excuse to introduce Elixir at work 
)
Concerning your question abou the text widget, you’re right about it having only one dynamic attribute at the moment.
Changing it to have more or all of its attributes dynamic is quite simple and i wouldn’t mind if the default generated text widget
had all of them dynamic (feel free to submit a PR about this).
Keep in mind that even core widgets are generated in any new dashboard app instead of being bundled somehow to allow the user to see the source code, and adapt it accordingly.
