CentralIA — Initiative-Management Console over a Version-Control Provider

Published:

A connection-first web console that turns a version-control provider into the backend of a management dashboard, so the state of a whole portfolio of initiatives is never staler than the last commit.

CentralIA — connect to a provider, read a management repo, render a portfolio with 5-axis status and a hub growth graph

Read the state live from the repos

Connect to a provider (GitHub, GitLab, or an offline emulator), point it at a management repo, declare the structure file, and CentralIA renders every repo-mapped initiative: a grid filterable by group, line, hub, lifecycle, deploy class and kind; per-initiative 5-axis status (development, design, implementation, deployment, value, each 0 to 5); the implementation backlog; live open issues pulled from the provider; plans, findings, history; and a hub drill-down with a growth graph where nodes are coloured by component type, ringed by lifecycle, and connected by directed consumes edges.

A real tool, not a mockup

The connectors are genuinely implemented and the offline emulator is a self-contained backend with a bundled fake management repo, so it runs with no credentials. The access token lives in the server environment only, never in the browser or a database, and a server-side anonymize toggle redacts client info for screen-sharing. Single-user auth; the public instance is private, the offline emulator is how to see it. Source on GitHub.
