Thanks for sharing and that makes me really happy to hear. Keeping Rerun simple to use and easy to get started with has been a goal of ours from the beginning.

> I think Rerun should actually make the timeline view just another "view"

This is something we've talked about on and off internally and mostly all agree it's the right thing to do at some point. I also think there is a lot of things we could do to increase the usefulness of the timeline view even further so glad you're getting alot out of it already.

> Also we already have infrastructure to log and for live telemetry streaming so we don't integrate with the SDK directly in the deployed software and instead just have an adaptation layer to take logs or live data and push it through the Rerun SDK.

This is actually quite a common case and we don't have the ambition to make the Rerun SDK be the perfect logging library for all usecases. We're trying to do more instead to make it easier write efficient adapters that run elsewhere in your infra for cases where using the logging SDK isn't the best fit. The recent `rr.send_columns` API is in that direction but there will be more in the future
