Every SaaS product needs a dashboard. But most dashboard templates require React, a UI library, and 20 npm packages just to get started. So I built one in pure HTML/CSS. 5 complete interactive pages: Dashboard 4 metric cards with trend indicators Revenue bar chart Traffic sources donut chart Recent transactions table Live activity feed Analytics Conversion funnel visualization Top pages by visits Weekly active users chart Users Full user management table Avatar initials, plan badges, status indicators Sortable and searchable Billing 3-tier pricing plan selector Payment method management Invoice history Settings Profile information form Notification toggles (interactive) Danger zone Most dashboard templates are framework-specific. This one works with anything — just open the file and start editing. No build steps. No npm install. No React required. Pure HTML + CSS Minimal vanilla JS for sidebar navigation Inter font from Google Fonts Zero external dependencies Available at buildnova.gumroad.com — live preview at buildnova-hq.github.io/ui-kit What would you add to make this more useful?
