I built an open-source React component library for robotics and drone dashboards
Been working on Altara for a while — it's a real-time telemetry UI component library for React, specifically for robotics, aerospace, and industrial IoT.
The problem I kept seeing: every team building a ground control station or robot monitoring dashboard rebuilds the same components from scratch — attitude indicators, live charts, LiDAR viewers, occupancy grids. There was no component library that understood these domains.
What I shipped:
- 30+ components across aerospace, autonomous vehicles, and industrial packages
- Native ROS2 (rosbridge) and MQTT adapters
- Full TypeScript, Storybook docs, MIT licensed

Still early — would love honest feedback on what's missing or broken. Happy to answer questions about the technical decisions too.
