Watchtower Dashboard

While working to abstract some of the concepts from my Raspberry Pi Camera Network post, I've been building a convenient library for taking pictures on the Pi, called "Watchtower". And in the process of working on Watchtower, I designed this prototype for a web-based dashboard that could be used to manage and view the camera installations.

It relies on flexbox CSS styles to lay out a full-page dashboard, which features a fixed menu bar on the left.

I'm sharing it because this design feels like it could be useful to many dashboards.

Mockup Demo

This isn't linked up to any cameras, but it demos the flexbox-based dashboard design.

You can view and grab the code to use it in your own projects from the page's source.
