IQSS Public Metrics Dashboard (Glance Example)

This repository is an example rebuild of the legacy IQSS public metrics dashboard using Glance.

The look-and-feel (colors/fonts/images) is inspired by the legacy site: https://iqss.github.io/iqss-metrics-dashboard/

All metrics are fake and served as static JSON files so you can compare Glance against the existing dashboard implementation.

Run

Requirements:

• Glance installed (or downloaded)

Start Glance from the repo root:

glance --config ./config/glance.yml

Open:

• Dashboard: http://localhost:8080

Where Things Live

• Glance config: config/glance.yml and config/*.yml
• Custom styling (IQSS-inspired): assets/user.css
• Images (copied from the legacy dashboard repo): assets/images/
• Fake static data (flat files served by Glance): assets/data/*.json
• No-JS graph examples (line/area/bar/pie): assets/data/graphs/*.json

Offline / No Runtime Internet Calls

This example uses no custom JS for graphs. Charts are rendered as HTML/CSS/SVG from static JSON using Glance templates.

This example self-hosts its font dependencies:

• Fonts: assets/fonts/*.woff2 (Montserrat + Questrial)

To (re)download vendor assets:

./scripts/vendor-assets.sh

Reusable Graph Template (No JS)

Graph widgets use a shared Glance template in config/scientific-programs.yml (anchor: &iqss_graph_template) and accept these JSON shapes:

• type: "line" or type: "area" with points: [{label, value}, ...]
• type: "bar" with bars: [{label, value}, ...]
• type: "pie" with slices: [{label, value, color}, ...]

To add another graph, point a custom-api widget URL to a static graph JSON file and set template: *iqss_graph_template.
