Extreme Feedback Carousel

The extreme feedback carousel provides a quick visual into the most up-to-date state of the project. In other words, it is a DevOps tool for cycling through different screens that are important to the health of the project.

Dependencies

• A modern browser (tested on latest chrome)
• Node.js - Node.js Official Website for server side packages (via NPM) and application execution runtime
• Bower - Bower Package Manager for front end packages

Install Bower & Packages

npm install -g bower
npm install

Configure

Create local/dashboards.json file containing an array of configurations:

[
  {
    "title": "Foo", /* required */
    "url": "http://foo", /* required */
    "seconds": 10  /* optional; default 15 */
  },
  {
    "url": "http://bar"
  }
]

npm run start

How it Works

jQuery + ajax + iframe Currently, pages displayed must not set the X-Frame-Options header.
