Hey all, I am the founder of a data intelligence company, started up a year back. We started as a service company where we used to scrape data for strategy teams (any data from the web - e-comm, social media, listings etc.). So, we had to build simple custom dashboards for each team.

Every time we had to go through the same prompts on Claude/Cursor telling them how we wanted the fonts, graphs, icons to be. We built a simple system (prompt file), but still each dashboard used to look quite different.

We didn’t find any good dashboarding tool as well so we built this for our own use. It’s so cool that we also added a MCP layer on top of it, so that Claude Code uses it to build dashboards for us.

The whole dashboard is basically a YAML file. Claude generates it for us, and we can open it anytime to edit charts, filters, layout, colors, queries, or branding ourselves. It’s super simple to understand, easy to customize, and easy to reuse.

Now we have moved away from being a service company, building an Apify-like platform for our data APIs. We saw that even MBAs (our typical ICP), have started using these coding tools, hence making this open source for them to build their own custom dashboards.

I would love it if you guys gave it a try and gave your feedback. Quite a lot of things can be made better of course, will keep updating as we get more feedback from you all.
