Hi Craig,  
The Unified-red project looks very professional. But to be honest I am not familiar with it. Perhaps because they have their own forum... I only had a quick look at it, and it seems to me that they don't have e.g. a way to plugin custom ui nodes. But I might be mistaken completely!

Anyway I suggest that we discuss such things (like comparing all the possible alternatives) in the original [discussion](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/discussion-about-a-new-dashboard/51119). Because this discussion is dedicated to how we can implement custom ui nodes into Flexdash, to support @tve as much as we can with Node-RED specific knowledge...  
Bart
