The Beginning of Blashing

Build a beautiful dashboard
Published on Friday, 23 June 2023

Having worked with a Dashing / Smashing meant having to setup 💎 Ruby, as this isn't a language I'm not familiar with there was a little bit of a barrier to entry. I've used in the past with some iOS projects but only in little bursts.

Having a discussion with a colleague they had a similar experience, now as we're both .NET enthusiasts the obvious choice was to port it to .NET and since Blazor is the hot stuff atm why not use that.

Before we start, we need a name...

I know, clever! I don't know how I come up with such great names.

Next is create a repo and the journey begins.

I've already made a start creating the original list of widgets: clock, comments, graph, iframe, image, list, meter, number, text. There is also a community of Additional Widgets that could be fun to port over too.

There's the grid system to think about, drag & drop capabilities, Font Awesome icons and much, much more.

You can follow along with the progress using the GitHub Project.

I'd like to use a Blazor WASM project to host a demo and documentation site showing the features.
