Hi Panic!

Great app!
I can’t use data source with my name in it (it has a ç ) but great anyway.

Indeed a mac app to run full screen in a space or to output to a second screen (or integrated web server?) would be great as well.

Well, as usual, Panic has delivered fun and fantastic product. I’ve made 2 dashboards so far using custom data and it worked awesomely.

But there is one major pain point – we need to sacrifice an iPad to have this running on our TV all day. We’d love to use our old iPad 1 for this but, unfortunately, the app crashes constantly.

So, can I ask if there’s a Mac app port in the works?

This will be perfect for our lab. Displaying lists of switches which have cored, or whose mts buffers are backing up, and by how much, what perturbance tests are passing/failing, router reachability, etc. Really, the list of things that could (and will) be monitored on an esthetically satisfying canvas is endless Panic provided a beautiful container/conduit and my guess is that they have avhitnon their hands.

I created a very basic graph to chart multiple postfix message queues. It can be found at: http://voxmagis.com/panic-status-board-postfix-queues-for-multiple-servers-graph/

Great app.

Would love to have multiple statusboard to choose from – in real life I would want to have a StatusBoard for office and another set for Home.
(Would be fantastic if the statusboard can be set to swap automatically, determined by device location!)

I could see that at the moment there’s a share your StatusBoard option in the app which one may send a .panicboard file to another via an attachement in email so I would assume it’s structurally viable?
(Unfortauntely the .panicboard is not in .html format and styles are managed in .css or a Property List as I first imagined)

Once again – great app, hope my wish list will come true.

If you want to track APP Store download or IAP statistics as StatusBoard graphs I’ve written a small tutorial and some scripts: https://github.com/omichde/BOMAAB for a self-hosted solution

Your description of “people in the UK who rely on the tube” – shouldn’t that be people in London who rely on the tube? Since the tube is of course the London Underground

Have you considered investigating how many people doing custom installations using an external display would use a 4th generation iPod Touch to power that display if an iPhone / iPod version was available? If all the data is to be displayed on an external display there’s not as much need for a huge touch screen sitting there doing nothing, plus, an iPad generally costs more.

Are you thinking about setting up an official repository or forum or something so we can find interesting Status Board goodness?
