## Features

FlowFuse Dashboard provides a base set of nodes for building your own user interfaces and data visualisations. Much like it's predecessor, it provides a set of easy-to-use, core nodes, but provides complete flexibility for customisation and control over theming, layout and behaviour if you want to go further.

No dashboard is complete without data visualisation. FlowFuse Dashboard provides a core `ui-chart` widget to provide a simple, yet powerful way to visualise your data. It supports a wide range of chart types, including line, bar and scatter, with more planned for the near future.

### Flexible Customisation
