SqlDashboards is longer actively being maintained. It is in limited maintenance mode for existing customers only.
Pulse is the replacement. Pulse allows building interactive data tools fast.

sqlDashboards was originally released in 2013 and successfully helped many users create and share desktop dashboards for many years. HTML5, react and modern charting frameworks now allow building a much better solution. Pulse is that solution and provides a lot more functionality than sqlDashboards. We take this opportunity to thank our users for all their contributions over the years and we hope you will join us using Pulse.
