In the previous blog, I discussed the problem and a potential solution. In this blog, I’ll explore how others have tackled similar issues and I get inspiration from Dribbble. Many others have addressed this challenge by implementing user-friendly dashboards. These dashboards typically offer an overview of all projects/containers along with their current status, accompanied by quick actions for accessing more detailed information. Additionally, they often include features for managing users and monitoring server performance.
Next I visited Dribbble for further inspiration, I searched for various dashboard designs. Most of the designs on Dribbble feature a navbar with a logo on the left and account or notification options on the right. The dashboards I found inspiring typically include a sidebar on the left for navigation to different sections.
The main content of these dashboards varies widely due to differences in niche. Some feature elegant table designs for presenting data, while others employ visually appealing graphs. One particularly clever design incorporates tabs for filtering content, allowing users to focus on specific data sets. Another noteworthy concept involves using circular progress indicators with icons to represent task statuses. I believe adapting this idea could provide an interactive way to display server load.
Although this blog post is short, I find it difficult to describe why some dashboards are inspiring. In the next phase, I’ll begin sketching ideas to further develop my concepts and expand upon this article. If you have any tips, tricks, or additional ideas for finding inspiration, please share them. I look forward to sharing more in the next blog post.
