Exceptionally handsome if you like Windows 8 perhaps. I don't like the big rectangles with bright colors. A good dashboard should be almost invisible until something important happens.
The real meat of the project is the underlying messaging that passes your data from the server to multiple clients.
You write a job that calls send_data, and Dashing takes care of the rest. There's room for as much customization as you like on the front end.
But I don't understand why native graphite widgets aren't in dashing. These two projects (graphite + dashing) are literally made for eachother.
That's why we want people to submit third-party widgets and jobs. We can't cater to all environments ourselves, but others can help out and share their own.
