Reportr

"Your life's personal dashboard."

Deploy

Reportr is a complete application which works like a dashboard for tracking events in your life (using a very simple API). With a simple interface, it helps you track and display your online activity or your real-life activity (with hardware trackers or applications like Runkeeper), some trackers are available on this organization.

The project is entirely open source and you can host your own Reportr instance on your own server or Heroku.

Screen Preview

Start your instance

Reportr is really easy to run locally or on heroku-compatible services.

$ git clone https://github.com/Reportr/dashboard.git
$ npm install .

To run it locally, you should use foreman (configuration can be stored in a .env file):

$ foreman start

To deploy it on Heroku:

$ heroku config:set MONGODB_URL=mongodb://...
$ heroku config:set AUTH_USERNAME=...
$ heroku config:set AUTH_PASSWORD=...
$ git push heroku master

Events

An event represent something to monitor at a defined date. For example if I'm monitoring the temperature in my home, I'll post an event home.temperature with a property temp:

$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{ "type":"home.temperature", "properties": { "temperature": 66 } }' http://localhost:5000/api/events

Visualizations

A visualization is a configured way to show data, for example in a pie, bar chart or time graph.

Templates

Visualizations accept templates as most of rendering options. Template are processed using lodash's _.template method with some special functions:

  • $.date(date): returns a beautiful date

Reportr lets you configure alerts to be triggered when specific condition is valid at a specific interval.
