Dear Gliders,
I am trying to build an interactive “Trend Radar” with Glide. (I am on the Business Plan)
- You can find fancy examples here: MunichRe, EON, DHL…
- Full-scope Trend Radar Tools that offer embeddable Trend Radars, incl. Itonics, Fibres, etc.
I have all the needed data in Glide, including the detail pages, and (obviously) I can create grouped list components or Kanban (by trend priority, etc.) to visualize it to some extent. However, my “internal customers” want a trend radar view…
—> I need some initial guidance on how to approach this.
What I found out so far:
- Most solutions use D3.js to create the circular/radial visuals - as it is not a “standard” chart component.
- I found an open source project by Thoughtworks that also allows for own hosting (that’s what I want/need?) —> Radar Github
How do I best tackle this with Glide?
- Experimental Code / Javascript Column?
- Is it best to add the code directly to the column or host via Github (have seen this in the forum already)
- As I want the data in Glide to be used —> I probably need to use template columns
- As it needs to be interactive - CSS or rich media components do not work (If I understood correctly)
Other (non-desired)
- I have quotes from the above-mentioned tech providers that support embeddable radars via iframe that would also connect to my CMS (Airtable) - but come at a significant cost.
I highly appreciate any hint on how to approach this
