Exploring how NetBox could feel with a decoupled React frontend.
It started as a fun evening experiment to compare Windsurf with Cursor, but the deeper I go into this prototype, the more potential I see in it.
Sharing a few glimpses of the current look. What do you think?
Time flies! Yesterday marked exactly 5 years since the first public commit to my NextBox UI Plugin for NetBox.

Since launching v1.0, the NextBox-UI Plugin with topoSphere has grown rapidly in GitHub stars and downloads and gained significant attention from the NetBox community! Your support has driven this momentum. To help shape the future, please consider taking a 5-minute anonymous survey about your experience and feature needs.
If someone had told me even a couple of years ago that Iβd witness live performances by Linkin Park and Eminem on the same stageβ¦ in the capital of Saudi Arabia, I wouldβve called them an ambulance.
Experimenting with visual topology builder support in my topoSphere SDK led me to an interesting PoC for @go_containerlab, featuring on-the-fly two-way topology format conversion.
Hey @ntdvps, what do you think?
After over 4 years, NextBox UI Plugin v1.0 is finally here β my biggest release yet (almost as massive as the jungle).
Whatβs new:
β topoSphere: a brand-new, state-of-the-art visualization SDK developed by me from scratch
β Legacy NextUI SDK is fully deprecated
β Fully reworked Filters tab, reusing and extending NetBox generics
β Export to PNG, JPEG, and JSON
β New modal windows
β Dark mode support
With the new engine, the plugin offers a new level of extensibility and usability.
Check it out and let me know your thoughts!

Thinking ahead, I plan to automate the data pipeline to ingest the export file on-demand and explore more advanced data analytics for deeper financial insights. What would you recommend by the way?
Iβll continue using the iOS app for recording transactions, but now with Kibana dashboards, my financial tracking has leveled up. And I feel it's just the beginning. Happy to discuss with anyone interested!
