Gitlab Pipelines TV Dashboard

Problem

Our internal Gitlab was missing a nice, global, TV-friendly view for CI Pipelines.
There is an open issue about it,
and a very nice mockup already:

But the feature is tagged as a “moonshot”, so not sure we’ll get it baked in Gitlab soon.

Solution

We made a simple dashboard that lists all CI builds, together with their status, completion time, etc:

We currently list all the Pipelines on all branches (polling the APIs and updating every 30s),
but we’d like to implement also a simpler view that tracks the status of the master branch.
This effort is tracked here.

We very much welcome PRs, if you’d like to contribute take a look at the issue list
