Hello,
I'm afraid this won't be a very substantive message - I just have a
couple of opinions and a question.
First, about the new "Live Runtime View". I didn't know what to expect
from Sculpt VC, but even given your history of thinking outside the box,
this one surprised me. It is a very powerful and elegant idea that
perfectly matches the rest of the system. I can't wait to see what
comes next!
Also, I like the changes to the "launcher" / "deploy" config. It's a
nice, clean separation that makes it much easier for the user (and
future GUI front-ends, I assume).
Since there always seems to be a good reason for even the minor design
decisions you make, I will pose this as a question rather than a request:
Is there a reason why the Inspect window is not always open? I find it
handy for working with the "in-memory config", even without using the
storage devices.
In the same vein, might I suggest a more "discoverable" way of switching
between the Inspect window and the Live Runtime View? (Perhaps a button
bar like the "Network" section of the Manager window.)
In a nutshell, I continue to be impressed with the direction you've
chosen. I am planning on getting a refurbished ThinkPad soon, and will
try to migrate to Genode as a "daily driver"; hopefully then I can give
more useful feedback.
Thanks!
