Our public dashboard is at https://library2.lincoln.ac.nz/dashboard/ - data comes from various APIs, and PHP code is at https://github.com/LincolnUniLTL/LTLstats

(Layout is a perpetual headache. If anyone can think of a way to make the elements rearrange themselves according to how big they are and how much space is available, using javascript, I'd be very happy. My attempts so far have been worse than just not. Simply lining them all up grid-style doesn't help because they're variable heights.)

There are some tweaks to be made and text to be added, but this is our public
dashboard:

https://dashboard.library.yorku.ca/<https://dashboard.library.yorku.ca/>

It's done in R with Shiny, and the code is here:

https://github.com/yorkulibraries/dashyul/<https://github.com/yorkulibraries/dashyul/>

Anyone who knows some R and some web development will find Shiny very nice to
work with. I really like it.
