Status Board
A web-based sinatra-driven status board for displaying site stats on a whoppin' large tv.
For when you want to display a whole bunch of stats from a variety of sources...
With a big, beautiful television mounted on the wall, and nothing to display on it, in a bit of time between projects I made a status board showing the status of the site, sitepoint.com. It pulled down some stats off Google Analytics, and tried to make useful sense out of it, and display (as-close-as) immediate details available.
Some of the stats that I thought interesting is user-stats breakdowns: operating systems, per-browser-usage breakdowns.
Also, pageview & UB stats as well as sales for the last week, which products are hot, etc...
An interesting note: I found that having all the browser-breakdown stats took up a lot of space! So, after a bit of fiddling, they now cycle through each of the stats graphs, taking up a single (larger) block than six or so smaller ones.
