Motivation

You are right there are a lot of web dashboards out there. So why is another one needed now? When a new larger project starts, it's usually a mono repository nowadays. Which is great, but has the disadvantage that each package has its own scripts, which makes the project slightly confusing. Dash4 claims to solve this problem because it was designed for mono repositories from the scratch. Another important aspect is extensibility. Dash4 is implemented with and for plugins. Almost everything is a plugin which is why it allows you to add any feature you desire. Dash4 was heavily inspired by webdash and hyper. From technical point of view, the most important technologies which are used in Dash4 are react, websockets, node-pty and Xterm.
