       | Nice... I've built a very similar toolset in the past. Cool to
       | see it open-sourced. Nice work.

         | others can benefit from this.

       | Nice that the ROS community is starting to get hip to web/cloud
       | community innovations. Back when I worked on ROS heavily (about 2
       | years ago), it felt like there were tons of cases of Not Invented
       | Here syndrome. Rosparam server, service discovery, some of the
       | rpc concepts. Just felt like a large chunk of the stack could be
       | replaced with pre-existing technologies that could do the job
       | better and with more features.

       | TFA is traditionally the sort of thing someone would write a full
       | solution for, entirely in ROS, and it would be rickety and
       | opinionated, but refreshingly, they just use Prometheus, with
       | enough Ros binding to capture the auxiliary data.

         | Yup, I completely agree. I'm fairly new to the ROS community,
         | but even so a lot of the solutions that I've seen for various
         | robotics problems could be solved with cloud/web innovations.
         | Never reinvent the wheel!
