Super glad to hear that!

What are some things you're missing on the client/server streaming? I'm aware that there is much to do but would love to hear your specific issues

Honestly most of the things I would like food are very oriented toward research/sharing use-cases, which I realize that is distinct from a lot of your users, but can mean:

- Working with large remote datasets/clusters - Needing to share visualizations with others [both interactive, and pre-recorded/controlled] - Being able to easy switch between N runs to look at data/results over time

Concretely:

- Currently it seems you need to forward multiple ports, and for each new session you need to re-connect. My memory is foggy but I found it was a lot of hassle to just connect a thin-desktop client to a remote backend.

- The support for baked-html is great, but it has limits (namely I was hitting some size limitations) and it would be cool to have a server that can read rr files from disk and stream them on-demand [e.g., point to a directory and let the user select]

- Generally speaking, I found the workflow difficult to integrate to the typical ML setup. Obviously not a priority for rerun but I think a little improvement [like the point above] could help a lot.

- A built-in screen recording feature would be great. I spent a lot of time screen recording and re-sharing clips.

Again, these are mainly nitpicks, love the tool overall and have recommended it to several people.

Thanks a lot I really appreciate you writing this out! I'd say most of your requests are things we'd like to address in the future. Built in screen recording is a common request and something I think makes sense for the open source project. A lot of the other requests require a central service of some kind to achieve high performance and/or a smooth user experience so those fall into the bucket of what will go into our commercial offering.
