Features

This User Analytics Dashboard is a real-time, interactive web application designed to track and visualize active, inactive, and total users with dynamic data updates.

Key Features:

  • Real-Time Data: The dashboard dynamically updates user data every 30 seconds.
  • User Analytics: Displays statistics on active users, inactive users, and the total number of users.
  • Interactive Charts: Visual representation of user data over time using interactive line charts powered by Chart.js.
  • Refreshing Countdown: Includes a countdown timer to indicate the next data refresh cycle.
  • Modern UI: Stylish and user-friendly design with smooth animations, hover effects, and modern color schemes.

Technologies Used:

  • HTML5: For structuring the webpage.
  • CSS3: For styling and layout, including flexbox and box-shadow effects.
  • JavaScript: For real-time data manipulation, Chart.js for chart rendering, and dynamic updates.
  • Chart.js: For interactive and visually appealing line charts.
  • Material Icons: Used for interactive elements like refresh button.

Roadmap

Current Features:

  • Dynamic user data update every 30 seconds.
  • Real-time line charts displaying active, inactive, and total users.
  • Visual countdown timer before data refresh.
  • Data statistics with styled counts in the UI.
  • Fully responsive layout for different screen sizes.

Upcoming Features:

  • User Data Source Integration: Integrate with a real backend (e.g., REST API) to fetch real user data instead of static numbers.
  • User Role Tracking: Add user roles (e.g., Admin, Member, Guest) to display different statistics.
  • Notifications: Real-time notifications for critical data changes, like a spike in inactive users.
  • Customizable Dashboard: Allow users to customize which metrics they want to see and how the data is visualized.

Possible Future Enhancements:

  • Export Data: Add the ability to export user data in CSV/JSON format.
  • Authentication: Implement user login/logout with role-based access control for enhanced security.
  • Graph Customization: Allow users to customize the type of graph (e.g., bar, pie, area chart) for user data visualization.
