The website for DIMS — open tools for exploring dynamic interactions and multimodal signals: recordings and the time series taken from them, on one timeline, with the analyses that say how two signals relate.

Site: https://dims-network.github.io/ Live dashboard: https://dims-network.github.io/case-demo/ Code: dims-network/dims

Try it, then build one

Open the live dashboard and click the timeline — the video and every chart follow the point you pick.

To build your own you need Python 3.10+ and nothing else. DIMS is not on PyPI yet, so install it from a checkout:

git clone https://github.com/dims-network/dims
pip install -e './dims[builder]'
dims-builder

The tutorial walks through it, with and without the wizard.

What is in this repository

index.html	the landing page
tutorial.html	build your own dashboard — with the wizard, or by hand
docs/	generated. The reference, rendered from the markdown in the core
tools/	the renderer, and the list of pages it builds

docs/*.html and docs/docs.js are generated — do not edit them. They come from dims/docs/*.md at the release named in tools/SOURCE.json, and CI fails if what is committed is not what that release produces. Before this, the site carried its own copy of the documentation and drifted.

To change a page, change the markdown in the core, release it, then:

pip install -r tools/requirements.txt
python tools/render_docs.py --dims ../dims        # after bumping "ref"
