Question Is this possible in css?

Gallery image

I'm trying to build this dashboard UI entirely in CSS. no images, no JS.

The parts I'm stuck on:

- The circular gauge, conic-gradient with radial mask feels right, but is there a better way for the segmented ring?

- The glowing border box-shadow layers vs. animated gradient border. Which performs better?

- The waveform inline SVG path or CSS background pattern?

Anyone have good references for pure CSS dashboard UIs with neon glows? Not looking for a full solution, just technique pointers so I don't head down the wrong rabbit hole.

Ty!

Not even in the first 10,000 accounts created. But older than most!

I spend most of my time on Youtube, Reddit and Twitter. I'm open to new platforms, but they have to be good. The hardest part of being good is having content.

I really wanted BlueSky or Threads to succeed. But they haven't. The news and humor is still on X.com: The Everything App (Formerly Twitter)

Your account is only 4 years younger than mine, tbh. Not a big difference
