Talk description: The Analytics team has been busy exploring dashboarding and visualizing editor engagement data. We found that while most people focus on visualization, data access and information architecture are just as important and separate problems. Mike Bostock solved visualization and the design team took care of information architecture, so we built a dashboard around their work. In this talk we share our learnings from developing dashiki, our new dashboard stack. We will talk about why we believe a server-less
javascript
app was the right architecture for the problem, how with about 900 lines
of
javascript we transform data into Vega grammar, and how knockout
components
helped us stay modular.
While we'll look at some javascript, the talk is high level, about 30 minutes long, and everyone that is interested in dashboarding, visualization, and modularity is welcome to attend.
