GreedyBear: Modularizing the Dashboard

I spent this summer as a GSoC contributor on GreedyBear under the mentorship of Tim Leonhard, refactoring its hardcoded dashboard into a configuration-driven widget system with a drag-and-drop admin editor and backend persistence.

Project: GreedyBear: Dashboard Modularization

GSoC Proposal

The goal of my project was to modularize the GreedyBear dashboard.

Before this project, every widget - its type, data source, position, and column span was hardcoded directly in Dashboard.jsx. Adding a new chart meant editing the layout file by hand, and there was no way for an admin to customize the dashboard without touching source code and redeploying.
