📌 Project Brief: “NextGen Dashboard Builder”
🧩 Overview
Build a modern, stylish, and scalable web platform where users can register/login, select dashboard themes, connect custom or platform subdomains, verify DNS pointing, configure dashboard paths, and connect remote MySQL databases. Each step is guided with interactive, easy-to-follow instructions and real-time validations. The UI must be responsive, sleek, and informative — perfect for developers and tech-savvy users.

✅ Deliverables
I'll create a modern dashboard builder platform with the features you've outlined. Let's start with the main layout and navigation structure, then implement the core pages for the user flow.
I've created a comprehensive NextGen Dashboard Builder platform with all the features you requested. Here's what I've built:
The platform provides a complete user flow from registration to dashboard deployment, with intuitive guidance at each step. All components are built with modern React patterns and can be easily integrated with real authentication providers (Clerk/Auth0) and databases (NeonDB).
I'll create the same NextGen Dashboard Builder using PHP, HTML, JavaScript, and Tailwind CSS. This will be a complete implementation with the same features and design.
