Dashboard Maintenance Guide

Overview

The index.html dashboard automatically displays all demos in the project. It's designed to stay up-to-date with minimal effort.

Quick Start

View Dashboard

# Start server (if not running)
python3 -m http.server 8889

# Open in browser
firefox http://localhost:8889/

Update Dashboard

# Regenerate after adding new demos
./generate_index.py

# Or make it executable and run directly
chmod +x generate_index.py
./generate_index.py

Auto-Update Strategies

Option 1: Manual Regeneration (Simplest)

Run after generating new demos:

./generate_index.py

Best for: Occasional updates, full control

Option 2: File Watcher (Development)

Auto-regenerate when files change:

# Install watcher (Ubuntu/Debian)
sudo apt install inotify-tools

# Start watcher
./watch_and_update.sh

Best for: Active development, instant updates

Option 3: Git Hook (Automated)

Auto-regenerate before commits:

# Copy hook to git hooks directory
cp .githooks/pre-commit .git/hooks/pre-commit
chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit

Best for: Team workflows, version control

Option 4: Integrate with Generation

Add to your infinite loop workflow:

# After agent completion in infinite loop
python3 generate_index.py

Best for: Seamless workflow integration

How It Works

Generator Script (generate_index.py)

What it does:

  1. Scans demo directories (threejs_viz/, sdg_viz/, src/, src_infinite/, src_group/)
  2. Extracts titles and descriptions from HTML files
  3. Updates the demos object in index.html
  4. Updates category counts and statistics
  5. Preserves all styling and functionality

What it scans:

  • threejs_viz/threejs_viz_*.html → Three.js demos
  • sdg_viz/sdg_viz_*.html → SDG network visualizations
  • d3_test/d3_viz_*.html → D3 data visualizations
  • mapbox_test/mapbox_globe_*/index.html → Mapbox globe visualizations
  • claude_code_devtools/claude_devtool_*.html → Claude Code developer tools
  • src/ui_hybrid_*.html → UI single-file components
  • src_infinite/ui_hybrid_*.html → Infinite mode UI
  • src_group/ui_hybrid_*/index.html → Modular UI components

Current stats: 107 demos across 7 categories

Customization

Add New Demo Category

Edit generate_index.py and add scanning logic:

def generate_demo_data():
    demos = {
        'threejs': [],
        'sdg': [],
        'uiSingle': [],
        'uiModular': [],
        'newCategory': []  # Add new category
    }

    # Add scanning for new category
    new_files = scan_directory('new_dir', 'pattern_*.html')
    for i, filepath in enumerate(new_files, 1):
        demos['newCategory'].append({
            'number': i,
            'title': extract_title_from_html(filepath),
            'description': extract_description_from_html(filepath),
            'path': filepath,
            'type': 'New Type',
            'techniques': []
        })

    return demos

Then update index.html template to add the category section.

Modify Extraction Logic

Edit extract_title_from_html() or extract_description_from_html() in generate_index.py:

def extract_title_from_html(filepath):
    """Customize how titles are extracted."""
    # Add custom regex patterns
    # Try different HTML elements
    # Handle edge cases
    pass

Change Dashboard Styling

Edit index.html directly - the generator only updates the demos object and stats, preserving all styling.

Workflow Integration

After Manual Demo Creation

# 1. Create new demo
nano threejs_viz/threejs_viz_6.html

# 2. Regenerate dashboard
./generate_index.py

# 3. Refresh browser to see changes

After Infinite Loop Generation

Add to your agent completion callback:

# In your infinite loop orchestrator
def on_generation_complete():
    print("🔄 Updating dashboard...")
    subprocess.run(['python3', 'generate_index.py'])
    print("✅ Dashboard updated!")

With Version Control

# 1. Generate new demos
./your_generation_command.sh

# 2. Update dashboard
./generate_index.py

# 3. Commit everything together
git add threejs_viz/ index.html
git commit -m "Add 5 new Three.js demos"

Troubleshooting

Dashboard shows old count

Problem: Statistics don't match actual files Solution: Run ./generate_index.py manually

Can't execute script

Problem: Permission denied Solution: chmod +x generate_index.py watch_and_update.sh

Titles look wrong

Problem: Extraction isn't finding correct titles Solution: Check HTML file structure, customize extraction in generate_index.py

Watcher doesn't work

Problem: inotifywait command not found Solution: Install with sudo apt install inotify-tools

Server not accessible

Problem: Can't open http://localhost:8889/ Solution: Check if server is running: python3 -m http.server 8889

Advanced Usage

Generate JSON API

Export demo list as JSON for external tools:

# Add to generate_index.py
import json

demos = generate_demo_data()
with open('demos.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(demos, f, indent=2)

Create Category Pages

Generate separate pages per category:

# Add to workflow
./generate_index.py --category threejs --output threejs.html
./generate_index.py --category sdg --output sdg.html

Statistics Dashboard

Track growth over time:

# Log counts on each generation
./generate_index.py | tee -a dashboard_stats.log

Best Practices

  1. Regenerate after bulk changes - After generating multiple demos, run once instead of per-demo
  2. Use watcher during development - Auto-update while actively creating
  3. Git hook for teams - Ensure dashboard stays in sync across team
  4. Backup before customization - Copy index.html before major changes
  5. Test extraction - Verify titles/descriptions look good after adding new demo types

Quick Reference

# Update dashboard
./generate_index.py

# Watch for changes
./watch_and_update.sh

# Start server
python3 -m http.server 8889

# View dashboard
firefox http://localhost:8889/

# Check status
find threejs_viz sdg_viz d3_test mapbox_test claude_code_devtools src src_infinite src_group -name "*.html" | wc -l

Future Enhancements

Potential improvements to consider:

  • Screenshot thumbnails for each demo
  • Iframe preview on hover
  • Automatically populate cards with screen shots
  • Demo Tags
  • Use Playwright for automated testing and evaluation of demos
