Signal Dashboard Design Notes

The core thesis is simple: the system should separate the visual frame from the monitored subject. Whether the target is pizza stores, a football team, a recruiting cycle, or commodity markets, the same layout primitives keep working.

This starter therefore uses a single content payload with typed sections: hero, feed, day buckets, markets, history, and source registry. That is enough to support a surprising number of monitoring products without forcing a rewrite.

For production use, move source fetching server-side, normalize raw data into your own schema, snapshot the results, and render only your normalized data in the UI. Do not make the dashboard depend directly on brittle third-party markup in the browser.
