## Announcement

Hi Everyone, this has been on the horizon for a little while, so is unlikely to be a surprise for many, but the original Node-RED Dashboard is now to be considered "deprecated". We will formally mark the module as "deprecated" on npm in six months time, but as of now, there will be no more development activity on this project.

Node-RED Dashboard is based on Angular v1 - that has not been maintained for a long time, and this has lead us to having Dashboard in "maintenance" for some time too.

You can still install and use the “old” Dashboard and your Dashboards will still be functional, but we strongly advise seeking alternative solutions moving forward.

When asking questions in the forum about dashboards, please remember to be clear _which_ dashboard you are using. Moving forward, we will encourage users to migrate to one of the alternative options.

## Alternatives

As of writing this article there exist two major alternatives for building out dashboards in Node-RED:

- [**Node-RED Dashboard 2.0**](https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/) - Built on VueJS, it is heavily modelled on the original Node-RED Dashboard and carries the vast majority of the same features and appearances, even extending functionality and available widgets too. Maintained by the FlowFuse team.
- [**UIBUILDER**](https://totallyinformation.github.io/node-red-contrib-uibuilder/) - A tool to allow Node-RED to deliver data-driven web UI's. Focusing on flexibility and extension of HTML standards rather than the use of a single framework. Use HTML standards and/or with any (or no) UI framework you like to create highly customised and optimised dashboards and other web apps. For further details see the [**UIBUILDER online documentation**](https://totallyinformation.github.io/node-red-contrib-uibuilder/).

Both are actively being developed and provide a stable base for the future

If you are looking to try out Dashboard 2.0, it's worth noting that there is a "Crash Course" workshop being run by [FlowFuse](https://flowfuse.com/) (the primary developers of the project) next Tuesday - you can find out more details [here](https://flowfuse.com/webinars/2024/workshop-dashboard/).
