Dashboard的原义是仪表盘，作为一个查看的工具来说这个名字还算不错。 Dashing是一个不错的Dashboard框架，原文的意思是The exceptionally handsome dashboard framework.

Dashing Quick Start

在这里就引用原文

1. Install the gem from the command line. Make sure you have Ruby 1.9+ 

   $ gem install dashing

   
   

2. Generate a new project 

   $ dashing new sweet_dashboard_project

   
   

3. Change your directory to sweet_dashboard_project and bundle gems

   $ bundle

   
   

4. Start the server! 

   $ dashing start

   
   

5. Point your browser at  localhost:3030 and have fun!
