One of the most annoying things of grafana is that panels can only be edited via the UI and the “changes” summary when you commit is near unusable with a bunch of auto generated garbage.

Having a simple language/YAML to define those panels and an easy way to preview them (eg paste in your file to preview the page, paste in a panel source to try it) in addition to editing via GUI and being able to copy changes back to revision control would be great
