Hey! Great to hear from someone in the same boat. I completely agree, the general dev experience and tooling around ROS can be deeply frustrating...

I am definitely looking into Foxglove! It seems to solve many of the transport/protocol headaches, but I feel like there's still a massive gap in how we actually interact with the robots day to day, especially when you are not glued to a desktop monitor.

I'd love to hear more about your experience. What specific part of the tooling drove you crazy enough to start building an alternative?

(Also, if you are open to a quick 15-min chat to share "war" stories, let me know!)
