All too often beautiful UI is an afterthought in infrastructure tooling. This is a miscalculation as users of these tools are drawn to exceptional design just as much as users of consumer products.

This is glorious.

This video shows some recent work on @bitdrift.io Capture to implement an adaptive sidebar which removes clutter when viewing data and when working on small screens. Observability tools can be both transformational AND eye catching. 😉

What tools are you using? Figma and React?

That's right. We also use MUI as the underlying component library, xyflow for our workflow editor, and airbnb/visx for visual chart primitives .

Yes we use Figma and I believe React but I don't know a lot of the low level details on the FE side. @jacksonhardaker.bsky.social can provide more info!
