This is wild. If you’re still building admin systems from scratch, I suggest you hit pause. This open-source project on GitHub literally wraps up the admin UI and hands it to you on a plate — the page quality is absurdly good. Grab it, tweak a few things, and you can skin it for your client and call the job done.

It’s a minimalist admin dashboard template built on React 19 + Vite + Shadcn UI. It’s already racked up 8.2k+ stars on GitHub and follows the MIT license — completely free for commercial use.

What makes this thing so badass:

• Out of the box: sidebar, responsive layout, and dark mode all dialed in
• Full component suite: tables, forms, charts, and protected routes — everything included
• Blazing fast: built on Vite + TailwindCSS with millisecond-level response
• Fully decoupled: clean code with zero messy logic — plug your APIs in instantly

Anyone who loves free stuff — and indie developers especially — rejoice: writing admin panels no longer means being tortured by aesthetics and UI.

I’ve been creating dashboard UIs at work and for my personal projects. I always wanted to make a reusable collection of dashboard UI for future projects; and here it is now. While I’ve created a few custom components, some of the code is directly adapted from ShadcnUI examples.

This is not a starter project (template) though. I’ll probably make one in the future.

Features

• Light/dark mode
• Responsive
• Accessible
• With built-in Sidebar component
• Global search command
• 10+ pages
• Extra custom components
• RTL support

Customized Components (click to expand)

This project uses Shadcn UI components, but some have been slightly modified for better RTL (Right-to-Left) support and other improvements. These customized components differ from the original Shadcn UI versions. If you want to update components using the Shadcn CLI (e.g., npx shadcn@latest add <component-name>), it’s generally safe for non-customized components. For the listed customized ones, you may need to manually merge changes to preserve the project’s modifications and avoid overwriting RTL support or other updates.

If you don’t require RTL support, you can safely update the ‘RTL Updated Components’ via the Shadcn CLI, as these changes are primarily for RTL compatibility. The ‘Modified Components’ may have other customizations to consider.

Modified Components

• scroll-area
• sonner
• separator

RTL Updated Components

• alert-dialog
• calendar
• command
• dialog
• dropdown-menu
• select
• table
• sheet
• sidebar
• switch

Notes:

• Modified Components: These have general updates, potentially including RTL adjustments.
• RTL Updated Components: These have specific changes for RTL language support (e.g., layout, positioning).
• For implementation details, check the source files in src/components/ui/.
• All other Shadcn UI components in the project are standard and can be safely updated via the CLI.
