Woah - just tried it out and I was definitely surprised about how great of an experience I had. The user interface, controls, and design is beautifully done - the graph is excellent. Great job @baptistelaget!
One thought - I was a bit confused about what the possibilities were/are of Castor before I signed up. If I had seen more of what the possibilities are with Castor beforehand, I think I would have had a better grasp of it as a whole. I know it's a data dashboard but those words don't convey how this product stands out from other dashboards (and I think it does stand out). Do you have any other/more examples of what you have built as a dashboard with Castor? I would love to see how others are using the power of it for their own personal purpose
Thanks @kevinguebert for your nice feedback! I'll definitely look into the website and post some user stories – guess it'll help users and ease onboarding.

@baptistelaget Agree with Kevin above, if it wasn't for his glowing review to peak my curiosity, the site alone would not have drawn me in.
I have used kibana dashboard with ElasticSearch? Is Castor better? I am not that happy with Kibana. Also any integrations with hbase or hive?

Is this project defunct or alive? getcastor.com goes to a CentOS default page but app.getcastor.com appears live still - what to think? :/

Just a heads up that I am not able to sign up using FB - it says "App Not Set Up: This app is still in development mode, and you don't have access to it. Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permissions."
Hey Hunters!
First product on Product Hunt here!
I developed Castor as a pet project inside my company to display our metrics in a simple web page, using multiple data sources. I wanted it to be webhooks-ready: the widgets needed to get data from the servers and not fetch the data by themselves and I think it’s one of the coolest features in Castor.
We learned early December that Panic’s Status Board was being discontinued, and we thought it would be a great idea to share Castor with the community then.
We really believe plenty of users will be happy with the Free edition, but we also have a Pro version, with advanced feature including multiple dashboards and webhooks support.
I really think there is a bright future for Castor, with multiple new widgets coming along, and I just can’t wait to see what others create with it.

I've used in the past one similar product called Cyfe. Had a little of fun setting it up but it ended up not as sweat to use on a daily basis as I expected. Gonna try Castor out :)

Love the color scheme. The app is beautifully designed with the user in mind. My kind of designers, that is for sure. Bravo!
