This is really cool and a nice start. One big thing we are dealing with in our internal app are responsive tables. We display some data in tables, but it almost always looks like crap on a small screen. There are a few different ways to solve this. Sometimes it makes sense to hide or abbreviate columns other times the table should neatly convert to a list. This is tougher.

I also like your search & filters design. I did something like this just last week, but I like yours better. ;-)

In some places you use semantic class names, like for messages, but for buttons you use colors. Probably better to just stick with a single convention for consistency.



I think colours for names of buttons are OK. I hate having to jump between CSS frameworks and trying to remember what the correct class is - danger? Warning? Error? I know what I want is red, and any time I want to change the class of a button or message/alert your core intent is to change the colour - so you might as well skip that abstraction IMO.


I think this is one area where we're going to see some changes even in the enterprise sector. Your average data-grids are pretty familiar to those used to working with spreadsheets, but pretty much everyone is used to rich list views, who also have the benefit of being a bit more responsive (not as good for editing data, though. Although with those gridforms, I do wonder...)

Granted, one screen isn't as heavy with data, but if you're trying to survey that much at once, you'd probably benefit from richer tooling anyways. I'd almost bet that a design that degrades gracefull from data grids to list views will have users resizing their browsers or picking portrait mode to get out of that.
