This is probably happening because it takes a lot of effort to get a keyboard controlled interface right. When everything is controlled by mouse you can separate concerns more easily. We had to put some thought into our state management whi

Yeah I really do love that. Once you get a grasp on it, you can control it blindly. I'm so quick on our UI right now, that you sometimes don't even see the command line opening. I think this efficiency combined with modern design

These are the places where we got our inspiration from :) But we couldn't find any relevant attempts to implement something like this in a browser, especially for non-technical users.

We showed it to some people who are unfamiliar with command lines and they liked it. It's just that most non-technical users never encountered an interface like this, but they do like it if you show them how it works. This is why we&#x

I agree, but Emvi is a knowledge management tool and if you decide to use it, you usually stick around for a while. So our users should have time to learn it. And I think it's really intuitive already.

Yes we've thought about that too. That's why we added autocompletion and we will add an interactive tutorial should we decide to commit to this.

True. In our experience it's fast enough. Additionally traffic is free unless you hit the 20 TB outgoing traffic per node (which probably will never happen to us). In contrast gcloud costs about 12ct per GB outgoing traffic (!!!).

We moved our cluster into the Hetzner Cloud for Emvi [1]. Yes, they don't offer a managed solution and it took us about two weeks to set up and test the cluster properly. But the cost is less than 1/6 of what gcloud costs us. If y

I like to do hand writing and drawing doodles for everything I want out of my head for the moment. I use small notepads for this purpose, so that the space is limited to store just the information that is important. If I work on a different
