Layoutss is a free library of dashboard designs. It is made by Talvios, a one-person project building practical tools for people doing unglamorous work.
Most dashboards go wrong in the first ten minutes.
Someone opens Power BI, drags in every field they were given, adds a few charts, and ends up with fourteen tiles that all look equally important. Nothing is technically broken. It just doesn't answer anything.
The decisions that make a dashboard useful are usually much simpler than that. What belongs above the fold. What should be given less attention. Which chart makes sense for a particular measure. How many colours are actually necessary.
These things are learnable, and they repeat.
So that's what this library is for. Instead of starting with a blank canvas, start with a layout that already makes sense, pick a palette that has been checked for contrast, and build from there.
Talvios is a one-person project focused on one idea: clarity in complexity.
The tools are built around problems that are easy to overcomplicate. The goal is to take the repetitive, confusing or time-consuming parts and turn them into something simpler and more useful.
Most of the tools are designed to run locally. Your files stay with you, your API keys stay in your .env, and you don't need an account just to use them.
Layoutss is a little different because a design library is more useful when you can simply open it and browse. The same principle still applies: keep things simple, collect only what is necessary, and make the useful part accessible.

I’m a data analyst by background and a builder by curiosity. I like taking things that feel complicated or repetitive and finding a simpler way to work through them.
Talvios started during my own job hunt. I was repeating the same work across applications, resumes and outreach, so I started building tools to make the process clearer and easier to manage.
Layoutss came from the same idea. I’d spent enough time starting dashboards from a blank canvas, figuring out what belonged where and which colours worked together. I wanted a clear starting point, so I built one.
That’s what Talvios is really about: finding clarity in complexity and turning it into something useful.
These are the local ones. If you're job hunting, they're designed to work well together.
Search the job boards you care about, score roles against your resume, and keep the ones worth pursuing in a sheet you own.
Send cold outreach one email at a time, with sensible pacing and limits instead of blasting the same message everywhere.
Give it a job description and your resume. It rewrites the relevant parts for the role without inventing experience you don't have.
Keep your Naukri profile active without remembering to do it yourself. It nudges the profile and keeps a record of the activity.
If a layout is wrong, a palette doesn't work somewhere it should, or there's a dashboard you keep building that you wish was already in the library, tell me.
That's probably the most useful thing you can send.
