Hi Lukas,

thanks for bringing this up :) We are aware of both of these projects (but not 
having used them) and as you 
rightfully pointed out we have started on discussing some features of interest 
regarding visualization in the wiki. 

I guess we should start a discussion on this topic, especially at which point 
we draw the line
between us and specialized visualization tools. AFAIK Superset similar as other 
tools like Grafana
are standalone tools that have dedicated storage drivers to connect to various 
data sources.
While this shouldn’t hinder adoption in deployments at users I would not 
integrate it as part of StreamPipes
in a „managed“ way in order to reduce dependencies to external systems from  a 
management/maintainance 
perspective. 

At the same kind, I guess echarts is more like a library and could potentially 
be integrated via npm (I’m not the UI expert here,
maybe @Dominik can tell more).

What would you think are the key functionalities that would be a game changer 
for endusers that insuffiently provided?
More widgets? Better control in design? More configuration options?  ...

So I would suggest discussing the functional/non-functional requirements for a 
dashboard visualization here and incrementally
add them to the wiki.

Best,
Patrick
