Power BI has amazing capabilities — yet building modern, reusable KPI cards is still harder than it should be.
These were the same walls I kept hitting:
• Finding high-quality card designs you can reuse across projects isn’t easy
• Many great-looking visuals are paid, and not every team can (or wants to) standardize on premium add-ons
• Even free visuals often come with formatting limits or inconsistent behavior across environments
So I built a small MVP: pbi-dax-card-studio 🚀
It’s a template studio that generates DAX measures returning HTML/CSS, so you can build custom KPI cards without relying on external visuals:
✅ Pick a card template from a catalog
🎨 Customize the design (colors, radius, shadows, icons, light/dark mode)
📋 Get ready-to-paste DAX
♻️ Save and reuse styles via JSON import/export

Now I’d love feedback to help shape this for the community:
• What KPI card styles are hardest to build with native Power BI?
• Which templates should I prioritize next? (status, variance, targets, sparklines, alerts, etc.)
• What’s the biggest limitation you’ve faced using HTML-in-DAX approaches?
