That looks like its a paid for solution ? There are some guys on the NR forum which have been developing a new dashboard too, think its still in beta. But there you would have the whole cummunity helping and contributing.
Still, worth checking this out too.

There's two versions of FlowForge, Open Source and Cloud. The Open Source version is hosted locally and is free. The Cloud version is a paid hosting service. In any case, FlowForge (the company) is developing a new, open-source dashboard for the entire NR community, not just FlowForge customers.

The goal is to develop a new, modern dashboard to replace the original that was developed by Nick O'Leary and Dave Conway-Jones more than 7 years ago.

You can install the Alpha version of this. I did. Had to Restart Node-RED after making a couple changes. It is very much Alpha and I had to also restart the R-Pi running Node-RED a couple times.

At this time, DO NOT load this on anything outside of a test system!!!

It adds to the current Dashboard items and they are adding new items with increased functionality. If you need a Button, for instance, you would use the current Dashboard Button node.

They have added Theme Configuration nodes and you can set the URL for the dashboard. It appears you could have different URLs for different Dashboards. Currently you cannot have a Page, Group, or other item used on multiple Dashboard URLs without recreating the Page, Group, etc. There is a request to change this and options are being considered.

Overall the changes look interesting. I am wondering how a Node-RED dashboard might compare to the new Dashboard capability being added to HomeSeer.
