I have what I built on Github if you're interested. It's nothing terrible fancy but it gets the job done.

Plan on selling some of those ideas?  Sounds great!

I moved our organization over in August. I wanted to utilize the NG API for PPSK self-service with AzureAD/Office365. Also built a kiosk web app and WiFi administration portal for our helpdesk so I don't have to manage student IoT anymore.

Feature parity with HiveManager classic is still progressing. I'm still waiting for ACSP neighbor information on maps. The troubleshooting section is full of false positives and getting information on a client is a bit clunky. I also haven't found a great way to filter for a specific client on the Monitor/Clients screen. I'm hoping these things get worked out as time goes on.
