A tour of Tabula and its template pages.

Tabula is an open source design system I designed and built for data-dense products. Its home page is Ask the data. You type a question in plain words, and a model builds a dashboard from Tabula's own components. The code computes every figure, and a follow-up such as "only Europe" changes the dashboard on screen.

A follow-up edits the dashboard and lists what changed.

Behind it are six template pages on one set of business data, 150 tokens, 16 components and 19 patterns, with documentation for every part.
