it was a conscious decision to have everything display related in client JS
while the JSON filter logic is in server-side python.

the interface is fully usable on any recent browser. Safari and Edge just
render the background gradient a little uglier than the rest.



I'd be happy to work with the xymon team to streamline things if there's
sufficient interest to get xymondash mainlined. In particular, having the JSON
source fully integrated would eliminate the service side headache and allow
for static xymondash hosting.
