Plausible — Analytics dashboard

The stat row IS the chart legend — click a tile and the line chart replots to that metric — and every ranked list underneath fakes a bar chart by tinting a proportion of each row's own background.

Why this pattern works

Steal the in-row proportional bar: Sources and Top Pages are plain two-column lists, but each row has a translucent fill scaled to that row's share of the total sitting behind the text, so you get a bar chart's read without ever drawing an axis. Also take the six-tile stat strip where every tile is a button that reassigns what the chart above is plotting, with the active metric getting a soft grey selection card — one row of numbers replaces a metric-picker dropdown.

Design notes

Surface: Public/shared analytics dashboard for a single site (plausible.io), logged-out marketing chrome above it
Navigation: Effectively one tier: a site-identity row (favicon, domain, live-visitor dot) stands in for navigation, plus `Filter` and a date-range control on the right. No sidebar, no settings rail — this is the shared/embed view, not the logged-in app shell.
Layout: Single centered column on a faint grey-blue page tint. The stat strip is one fixed-height row of six equal tiles; the chart is a single flexible block beneath it; two list panels close the page side by side, each roughly half width with a gap between.
Density: Airy. Stat tiles carry real padding around one big number; list rows run about 40px with only two columns (name, count) so nothing competes with the figures.
Color: White cards on a faint grey page tint. One accent (indigo) is reused for the logo, the `Sign up` button, the chart line and fill, and the active tab underline. Red marks negative deltas beside the big numbers. The row-tint bars in the two list panels use a low-opacity wash, never full saturation.
Type: One sans throughout. Stat labels are tiny uppercase grey tracked-out text; the numbers beneath them are the largest bold type on the page. List rows are regular weight with the count right-aligned and slightly heavier.
Pattern: A proportional background tint hiding inside a plain two-column list row — it turns Sources and Top Pages into bar charts for free, with nothing more than a width-scaled wash behind the text.
States: The top source row (Direct/None) carries a highlighted background, reading as either a hover or a pinned top-rank state. A single marker dot sits on the chart at one date, like a frozen tooltip anchor.
Don't: Don't let the row-tint bars gain a border or full opacity. The moment they look like a deliberate progress bar instead of a background wash, the list stops reading as a plain table and starts competing with the real chart above it.

## Acceptance criteria
- Existing project conventions, design tokens, working functionality, and unrelated changes are preserved.
- Two or three reference principles clearly support the user's task; conflicts are resolved in favor of usability and the existing product.
- Reusable components and semantic HTML express the interface. Available licensed assets are used; important UI text is never rendered as a bitmap.
- Every visible control has a defined behavior. Loading, empty, error, success, disabled, and long-content states are specified where relevant. Demo data is clearly labeled.
- Navigation and content adapt at 375px, 768px, and 1440px without horizontal page overflow. Keyboard use, visible focus, labeled inputs, at least 44px touch targets, readable contrast, and reduced motion are supported.
- Verification distinguishes rendered behavior from proposals and identifies anything still requiring a backend or external service.

## Quality bar
Clear hierarchy, consistent spacing, restrained surfaces, and purposeful motion. Avoid decorative gradients, excessive cards, placeholder buttons, and invented metrics unless the project calls for them. Do not claim a feature is connected or tested without evidence.
