Introducing SensorDash 2.0
A complete architectural overhaul designed for speed, scalability, and a superior user experience.

The Engine Room
Moving from SQLite to InfluxDB
The original version relied on SQLite, which lagged with continuous streams. We migrated to InfluxDB, a dedicated Time-Series Database (TSDB).
- Blazing Fast Queries: Instant aggregation for historical data.
- Automatic Data Lifecycle: Retention policies keep storage lightweight.
- Scalability: Ingests thousands of data points per second.

The Visuals
Embracing ShadCN UI
A powerful backend deserves a beautiful frontend. We rebuilt the UI using ShadCN UI (Tailwind) for a minimalist aesthetic.
- Modern Aesthetics: Data is put front and center.
- Interactive Widgets: Responsive, real-time monitoring.
- Accessibility: Keyboard-friendly by default.
- Dark Mode: A highly requested feature, now built-in.
