Its an impressive project. You could get really far by just picking a softer color palette. There's an over reliance on color coding going on that's hard on the eyes.

Optional pagination would be nice, I would use a Zebra pattern on the rows backgrounds and larger row heights but that's just me, and I'll admit making nice tables with lots of data look nice is hard. I'm also not a designer :/

The problem is when I see this color pallete I assume everything is vibe coded and then I have a hard time taking the rest of the project seriously / trusting it. I'm not sure why every llm generated UI uses those colors, but they do. I'm not sure how it ended up so concretely in their training data either because this wasn't ever the norm. I think the models just start with Red Blue Green Yellow and then expect the user to adjust from there, idk.

Thanks for feedback, applied some simpler UI/UX with zebra pattern tables but yea it is quite rough designing these tables that pack so much information in them.
