Django Controlcenter

Abstract

1. Introduction

With django-controlcenter you can have all of your models on one single page and build beautiful charts with Chartist.js_. Actually they don't even have to be a django models, get your data from wherever you want: RDBMS, NOSQL, text file or even from an external web-page, it doesn't matter.

Get all your project models on one single page with charts and whistles.
