> Widgets are cool, but mostly we need tables and forms.

This (though I agree with sibling comment about a few more being useful).

I reviewed 20 popular admin themes last month for our startup, and was v disappointed with them. Either due to code quality, or throwing in loads of useless widgets which are more consumer rather than business oriented.

There's a gap for a theme that's more like Stripe's dashboard, not these heavy-left-hand-menu dashboard themes. Or something like VMWare's Clarity Design System (https://vmware.github.io/clarity/)

Something corporate.



Wow, thanks for the link to Clarity. That looks like something we could get a lot of use out of.

We're currently using Looper[0], but even that is a little too opinionated and visually "heavy" for business apps where productivity and clarity are paramount.

I've had exactly the same experience, only I hadn't ever seen VMWare's Clarity. I cannot say Thank You enough.


I would definitely use clarity, if only it where React.


Or Vue. I used Angular 2 for a mobile app (Cordova/Ionic) and while it was OK, I'd rather not use it again.
