DataVista v1.8.0 is now available in the test channel!
This version introduces a new Countdown widget. It shows a live, second-by-second countdown to any target you set from a flow, and when it hits zero, a configurable completion message fades in.
What’s new:
-
Countdown widget - nine visual styles to choose from:- Minimal - clean text, days/hours/minutes/seconds separated by colons
- Blocks - each unit in its own rounded tile
- Flip clock - vintage split-flap board with a flip animation on every tick
- Particles - animated particles that gradually speed up and intensify as the deadline approaches
- Hourglass - sand drains from top to bottom as time elapses
- Rings - circular progress rings per unit, accent-colored
- Racecar - car races toward the finish line
- Racehorse - galloping horse runs toward the winning post
- Speedboat - boat races across open water
-
Three flow cards to set your countdown:
- Set countdown - pick a specific date and time directly in the card
- Set countdown (duration) - set it relative to now (days/hours/minutes/seconds, flow tokens accepted)
- Set countdown (ISO 8601) - feed it an ISO datetime string from another card’s token
The setup works the same as other DataVista widgets: create a flow with one of the countdown cards, give it an identifier, run it once, and it becomes selectable as a datasource in the widget settings. You can update the target at any time by re-running the flow with the same identifier.
Here are some examples. The gifs below are in low quality; the widgets are sharper.
