Hi Dmitri, Thanks for your feedback; it's much appreciated!
My current intent is to land an initial, "acceptable" version of the Console in polaris-tools. From there, we can introduce new features and improvements in subsequent PRs, hopefully encouraging contributions from new community members. I will take a look at your comment on the PR shortly. Thanks again! Regards, JB On Tue, Dec 2, 2025 at 12:34 AM Dmitri Bourlatchkov <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi JB, Sohan and Artur! > > Thanks for adding Polaris UI.
