Re: [pcp-announce] Vector

Hi,

To add custom widgets to vector, you have to write your own code in
javascript, and put it in the vector js files.
there is a separate and dedicated vector github repo / issues.

https://github.com/netflix/vector

There would need to be some understanding of javascript to be able to do
this however.

Thanks,
-Henry
