What is Real-Time Feed Dashboard?

Real-time feed dashboard displays live activity stream with recent events in reverse chronological order. Shows auto-refresh indicator ("Live" badge or "Updated 5s ago"), timestamps for each event, and pause/play controls. Events use icons and color coding by type. Common in operations dashboards and monitoring tools.

When Should You Use This?

Operations dashboards, server monitoring, social media analytics, live transaction feeds. Show recent events, system logs, user activity in real time. Add pause button to freeze feed for inspection. Use WebSocket or polling for updates. Good for NOC (Network Operations Center) displays and live dashboards.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• •No pause control—users can't inspect fast-moving feed
• •Missing timestamps—always show "2s ago" or absolute time
• •No event icons—color-code and icon-code event types
• •Infinite scroll without limit—cap at 100 recent items

Real-World Examples

• •Twitter Analytics—Live mentions and engagement feed
• •Datadog—Real-time server log stream with filtering
• •Stripe—Live payment events with success/failure indicators
