When I first saw this site I was blown away. Sure, the level of detail may be off putting to some people, but even from a purely engineering standpoint it's impressive.
Shoutout to Anand for the incredible work.

Not sure if it can be classified as a dashboard, but this one is gorgeous and interesting

He wrote a couple of articles about how he build the service for himself and it used Python with Django so it's safe to assume he stuck with that stack https://aprilzero.com/journal/making-of-aprilzero/ (he's whole site seems to be down now, perhaps the HN effect)

I like at the end of part 1 where his buddy texts him and asks him if he wants to go to Hong Kong and to meet in 5 hours at SFO.
Must be nice. . .

I think the half curves just represent some form of travel. If you look at March 29th [1] there's a large curve for his 8 hour flight, and some small gray ones for walking to his gate
