### Current dashboard

- https://dashboard.mainnet.lucamoser.ch/dashboard
- Historically tied to HORNET;
- Was extracted in a repository;
- React based App;
- Gets data from websockets and draw graphs;
- Network usage, neighbors
- Tangle explorer

### New dashboard

- Google form dashboard features;
- We'll start with one node per dashboard;
- Move the bee-wg-dashboard channel;

#### Design

- New design was done nearly a year ago;
- Different nodes uses different metrics/plugins;
- Should the dashboard be launched by the node or external app?;

#### Technologies

- Use Svelte to keep it lightweight/compact and performant;
- It's a compiler, simpler to write, compiles to HTML/CSS;
- Keep it aligned with other IF projects;
- JSON or gRPC ?

#### Requirements

- Bee/Hornet
-
- Chronicle
- Dashboard is more of a control panel;
- Wasp
- May require handling many nodes in the dashboard;
