Thank you for this amazing, helpful project!

Are there plans for letting power-users style their own custom panels using html, css and js using just the web interface? Meaning without having to develop a plugin.

This has been possible for ages. The built-in text panel has an HTML option (though you have to disable this setting to allow script tags: https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/installation/configu...)

There are some external plugins that offer more advanced support:

- https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/aidanmountford-html-pane... - https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/ryantxu-ajax-panel

There are a few plugins that let you enter css/html/js directly -- see https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/ryantxu-ajax-panel https://github.com/srclosson/grafana-div-panel and the text panel (if the server is configured with disable_sanitize_html = true)

this is powerful, but long term tends to lead to a maintenance nightmare
