Power BI Alternative Front End for Visualisations / Dashboards? (web native)

I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions for using the Power BI data model or DAX to create more web native dashboards for our products. We want something that looks and acts the web instead of PowerBI, but allows some of the benefits of the data model and backend.

 

Either looking at some methods, tools or even a whole new product we can buy to sit over the top.

 

Wish list -

Allow creation of a collection of visualisations / dashboards

Control styling and layout with HTML/CSS including webfonts 

Responsive

Edit/swap a chart in the layout with the same ease as Power BI.

Doesn’t live in something that looks and iFrame.

 

I understand I’m asking for a lot and really bending what Power BI does so it might just be impossible. I’m also open to any alteratnive products that might help.

Need Help
