Any plans for reviving/updating this project? #393

Hi, I am currently investigating the prospect of developing a custom dashboard for our Azure Application Insights resources, combined with other useful data sources. At a first glance this project seemed to be exactly what I needed. However after setting up a copy and having a good look around I can see that this is quite out of date and has a fair few bugs/issues.

What happened to the momentum on this project - it seems to have died about a year ago - is there some other solution that super-seeded this, or an alternative approach I should be looking into?

I also came across an interesting fork of this, porting it to Apollo GraphQL https://github.com/eladiw/ibex-dashboard-graphql - which was also of massive interest until I checked it out, it's over 300 commits behind this one does not work well at all.

Before I commit to a potential fork or decide to go ahead and build something similar for myself I'd like to hear your thoughts. Thanks.

@heresandyboy double that.

Very similar concerns: from already mentioned bugs/issues to unclarity about the future of this project.

The story on development blog - Custom Analytics Dashboard for Application Insights - suggests that this solution was more or less for one customer. Not necessary there were plans to address broader needs.

From what can be seen right now, while development effort underneath looks enormous, and even more work is required, it might be reasonable to consider other solutions which have been on the market for years.

Finally, it could also be very confusing to find this repo under Azure organization. How "official" is this project, will it be supported, etc.

Ive currently been reviving this for my own use cases. It seems Microsoft will most likely abandon this and any other custom from scratch dashboard uses cases as PowerBI essentially serves the same purpose and is a major product for them. All the more recent analytics dashboards have been PowerBI

Are there any similar projects/alternatives to this? I've been using Application Insights by Azure since it is used by default but I wanted to have a finer control much like what was written in the article.
