           | all on a lightweight UI

         | available again.

       | Any reason why this isn't just using OpenTelemetry?

       | Personally, I have "Sentry but serverless" on my idea list, but I
       | think it will never be realised. And now I have another reason
       | not to start it, because it will definitely be uglier than your
       | really nice dashboard. :)
