Having surfed on the internet for so long, I came to see multiple web applications that handle a single (specific) type of tabular data - Passwords, Wallets, Bookmarks, Notepads, To-Dos, Playlist and what not! Rather, why not have a single web application that provides the user with the power to manipulate tabular data as they wish?

This lead to inception of DashVis, and is exactly what DashVis stands for - to provide users with power of managing their data at a single place.

Yes and No.

Google Sheets is an online way of doing Excel Spreadsheets. Excel Spreadsheets are more inclined for performing calculations and for commercial usage. DashVis tries to mix the traditional CRUD functionality like Google Sheets along with a Dashboard interface (like the stand-alone applications). With a tabular interface, searching and organizing resources is easier.

That being said, DashVis is still at it's infancy right now. There are lots of potential features that can still be incorporated into DashVis. Have a look at the Roadmap or Issue tracker for more details.

1. Login with your social media accout (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn or GitHub)
2. You'll see that there are 2 segregations : Tables and Folders.
   • Tables : These are your individual tables, such as Books, YouTubers, Wallet, Policies.
   • Folders : These are your folders / table-tags, such as Entertainment, Finance, 2018, etc.
   • NOTE : A folder can contain multiple tables. Similarly, a table can also belong to multiple folders.
3. Create new Tables, new Folders and add your specific tables to each collection (as you prefer).
4. Search for your Tables and Folders in the dashboard.
5. Find DashVis useful? Share it with your friends.

Flavouring the tabular data with a little bit of HTML tags can add a zing to your viewing experience. For example,

• Add Hyperink to open in new tab : <a href="https://enter/the/url.here" target="_blank">Link text</a>
• Add Image : <img src="https://path/to/image.jpg" width="100" height="100">

• Dash is short for Dashboard.

• Vis is short for Visualization.

  • Currently, only tabular visualization is supported. However, support for different types of charts is coming soon.

• DashVis remotely spells and sounds like Jarvis.
