  1. UI kit

    A lightweight and modular front-end framework for developing fast and powerful web interfaces

    I personally like UI Kit, they provide the css and js for basic components that look good. Just use their documentation as a reference, copy and paste the HTML with classes.

  2. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.

  3. Refine

    A React Framework for building internal tools, admin panels, dashboards & B2B apps with unmatched flexibility.

    Something you might be interested in as well, if you just want a low effort (crud) interface: Refine or React Admin . These usually don't "click" that well for frontend devs, but I found them easier to understand for backend devs, who usually don't mind following their opinionated natures. Which frontend devs are notoriously resistent too .

  4. react-admin

    A frontend Framework for single-page applications on top of REST/GraphQL APIs, using TypeScript, React and Material Design

    Something you might be interested in as well, if you just want a low effort (crud) interface: Refine or React Admin .
