  • Updated July 28, 2026
  • nexu-io/open-design

An editable, single-file HTML template that renders an editorial-styled business report with metrics, insights, and retention data visualization.

About

Field Notes Editorial Template produces premium, single-file HTML reports styled with soft paper backgrounds, serif display headlines, rounded pastel insight cards, and interactive retention charts. Developers use it when stakeholders request magazine-style board memos, data storytelling layouts, or elegant one-pagers. The workflow reads design system variables (color, typography, layout, components), copies a base template to index.html, preserves the editorial frame (vignette, serif/sans hierarchy, lightweight interactions like metric count-ups and chart reveals), and validates against a checklist before output. Outputs are production-ready HTML with honest placeholders where data is unknown.

  • Single self-contained HTML file with no external dependencies or build step
  • Soft paper vignette background and serif display typography for premium editorial feel
  • Rounded pastel metric cards with count-up animations and page-view switcher
  • Retention line chart with axis labels, legend, and line reveal animation
  • Design system integration - maps palette and typography to CSS variables from DESIGN.md

Workflow

1. Read active DESIGN.md and map palette/typography to root CSS variables. 2. Copy assets/template.html to index.html as the working artifact. 3. Keep the editorial frame language:

  • paper-like background and subtle vignette
  • serif display headlines plus clean sans-serif body copy
  • rounded pastel metric / insight cards
  • chart panel with legend and axis labels

4. Keep interactions lightweight and presentation-safe:

  • page view switcher (metrics / insights / retention)
  • number count-up animation for key metrics
  • chart line reveal animation

5. Use honest placeholders ( or neutral labels) where data is unknown. 6. Validate against references/checklist.md before emitting.

Output contract

One short orientation sentence, then:

<artifact identifier="field-notes-editorial" type="text/html" title="Field Notes Editorial Report">
<!doctype html>
<html>...</html>
</artifact>

How it compares

Pick field-notes-editorial-template over generic dashboard skills when the deliverable is a static editorial one-pager or board memo with magazine typography rather than an interactive app UI.

FAQ

Is the output a static or interactive report?

Static HTML with lightweight client-side interactions: page view switcher, count-up animations, chart line reveal. No backend required.

How do I customize colors and fonts?

Read active DESIGN.md and map palette/typography to root CSS variables. The template uses CSS custom properties for easy theming.

Can I add real data to the template?

Yes. Replace honest placeholders (dashes, neutral labels) with actual values. Keep the single-file HTML structure intact.
