Please give some examples because I'm also really interested in any if
they exist.

I know of Nodewatcher [1], which is actively developed, and soon will
have V3.0 release which will be easily deployable by anybody to create
community mesh network, but currently it is missing lots of UI
elements.

I also found out that there is Afrimesh [2], but last commit was in
2011 so it looks like a dead project :( If anybody has used is please
share your experience.

There are quite a few commercial dashboards like Open-Mesh [3] but you
also need to buy their hardware AFAIK...

So if there are other dashboard projects that are usable please share them.
