Is it possible to have a node that displays the dashboard in the editor

.....runs away quickly and hides :slight_smile:

I currently use a Windows app called Deskpins so that I can use the dashboard and watch what's happening in the editor but its a bit of a clunky way ways to do things so I'm wondering if some sort of iframe type node thingy would be possible?

If only I had an operating system that allowed me to arrange two windows side by side ...

Actually - if you use the Vivaldi browser you can add dashboard as a "web panel" - which makes opening and closing it side by side real easy.

for me just clicking it again toggles it in and out, and in prefs you can set web panels to default to the right if you wish ...

I can now think about replacing my pool temp bar chart with a dashboard one :slight_smile:

Looks cool for some reason, but could somebody explain (in dummy language) how it works? I assume it is only available in that Vivaldi?

Well, any browser could implement split-screen which is what that is :slight_smile:

It is just that many don't bother. I think that you can get browser extensions to do this on some other browsers too (FireFox at least I seem to remember).

There are also tools to do the same at a window level. Indeed it is dead simple to have two browser windows side-by-side.

Of course, sensible people invest in multiple monitors as well :heart_eyes:

I use 2 external monitors with my laptop monitor both in my work and home offices. I would use more if I could! 6 would be a nice number or 2 ultra-widescreen curved 32" maybe :star_struck:
