This is the live-updating analytics Status Board (and iPad-optimised web-app) I built in HTML5 / JavaScript, to sit on the wall at the HK offices of one of the world’s fastest-growing companies. It’s currently running in our office while we test it.
It’s built on Backbone.js / Highcharts and our internal data API, which refreshes with new data every 15 minutes. The JavaScript application polls for new data every 60 seconds and updates automatically as soon as it’s available.
I’m also building a self-monitoring system into it, which detects any errors in the applications and forces it to restart if anything dodgy is detected.
