🛠️ How We Built a Custom Admin Panel in 10 Days Using Nuxt 3 + Supabase

Almost every product needs an admin panel -- for managing users, seeing analytics, handling content, or reviewing activity logs.

But here's the catch:

> Many teams waste weeks building one from scratch... or worse, never build it and rely on spreadsheets.

At Dezoko, we help teams launch powerful, custom admin dashboards in as little as 10 days using:

• ✅Nuxt 3 for a modern, fast frontend
• ✅Supabase for real-time DB + auth
• ✅Optional: Node.js APIs, cron jobs, analytics

Here's how we delivered a complete admin tool for a B2B SaaS client -- fast, secure, and scalable.

🧑‍💼 Client Need: A Real-Time Admin Dashboard

The client needed:

• User management (approve/block/delete)
• Logs of in-app activity
• Metrics like signups, conversions, active users
• Real-time updates and search
• Admin login with access control

They didn't want to use:

• ❌Airtable
• ❌Firebase Console
• ❌Retool (too expensive & limited design control)
