Client-side validation for enterprise environments.

Design Prototype is a collection of web app concepts focused on endpoint readiness, baseline visibility, and operational feedback for managed client platforms. The goal is simple: make client state visible before it becomes an incident.

Core prototypes

These prototypes are not random demos. They explore how enterprise endpoints can expose readiness, health, and operational state through lightweight browser-based tooling.

Primary

Client Readiness Dashboard

A readiness-focused interface for checking whether a client environment appears prepared for expected enterprise usage patterns.

  • Readiness and baseline thinking
  • Client-side visibility before access
  • Useful for managed endpoint scenarios
Open dashboard →
Optimizer

MQ Client Optimizer v1

A browser-based analyzer for IGEL and macOS baselines, designed to share the same baseline thinking as the command-line optimizer.

  • IGEL OS 12 and macOS baselines
  • Sample data, pasted JSON, or agent URL
  • JSON and HTML report export
Open optimizer →
Operations

Fleet Command Center

A concept for broader fleet-level visibility where multiple clients can be viewed through a more operational, centralized lens.

  • Multi-endpoint operational perspective
  • Status-oriented design direction
  • Supports scale thinking, not just single-client checks
Open dashboard →
Platform

macOS Enterprise Dashboard

A prototype direction for enterprise macOS visibility, linking configuration, posture, and operational control into one browser-based interface.

  • Enterprise platform perspective
  • Security and configuration visibility
  • Supports cross-platform design thinking
Open dashboard →
Risk

Certificate Expiry Timeline

A timeline view for spotting certificate expiry risk across local macOS data or fleet-level signals before renewals become urgent.

  • Expiry-focused operational view
  • Local and fleet data paths
  • Useful for renewal planning and risk triage
Open timeline →
Utility

MQ Asset Downloader

A Photoshop-inspired browser workspace for scanning a public page URL, finding image assets, previewing them, and exporting selected files as a zip archive.

  • Works across general websites and other builders
  • Optional Squarespace-only asset filter
  • Selectable asset grid with previews
  • Zip export with a download manifest

Advisor

MQ Site Fix Advisor v1.1.0

An older vSphere-inspired audit console for finding SEO, image, link, and CSS issues, then showing practical fixes for each item.

  • URL scan or pasted HTML fallback
  • Severity-ranked issues with locations
  • Concrete fix guidance and code snippets
  • Auto-fix generator and exportable JSON report
Open advisor →
Report

MQ Fleet Report

Generates a client-ready compliance report from fleet JSON exports — with narrative summary, trend comparison, and prioritised recommendations.

  • Import JSON from Fleet Command Center or macOS agent
  • Plain-language narrative, not just tables
  • Trend line vs. previous report
  • Recommendations with effort estimates
  • Print-ready for client delivery

Approach

This repo explores a practical design question: how much useful client insight can be surfaced directly through portable web interfaces in constrained enterprise environments?

Design principles

  • Client-aware: the interface should reflect endpoint context, not just show static UI.
  • Portable: browser-based prototypes reduce friction and make testing easier.
  • Operational: outputs should support triage, validation, and decision-making.
  • Baseline-driven: “good” state should be explicit, not implied.
  • Architecture-first: these prototypes are design artifacts, not only front-end exercises.

Typical flow

1
Load the prototype

Open a portable dashboard in the client environment being evaluated.

2
Observe signals

Surface visible indicators tied to readiness, posture, or expected configuration.

3
Compare to baseline

Interpret the state against a known-good target rather than guessing what “healthy” means.

4
Take action faster

Use the output as a starting point for troubleshooting, validation, and architecture decisions.

Positioning

Design Prototype should be understood as an architecture and product exploration, not just a folder of HTML files.

“This repository explores client-side validation, endpoint readiness, and operational visibility through lightweight enterprise-focused web prototypes.”

In other words: the repo is about making managed client environments easier to understand, validate, and operate.

Why it matters

  • Unknown client state slows troubleshooting.
  • Baseline gaps create inconsistent user outcomes.
  • Browser-based prototypes are fast to test and communicate.
  • Clear design artifacts improve technical conversations with stakeholders.
