What people are saying

I really love this tool - We use it to backport commits from master to our older release branches on the Kibana project. I can't emphasize enough how many hours this saves us…

What Hacker News says

13 sources
react-router depends on the ReactTraining/history package for browser navigation support. On 10 June 2017, an mind-bogglingly ill-conceived pull request[1] was merged, which causes invalid URLs to be pushed to the browser history, breaking the back button and page refresh in many scenarios. Ever since, users have practically been begging the maintainer to fix the bug[2] and implementing hacky workarounds[3]. In a twist of irony, the contributor who originally introduced the bug has: a) switched their own competing router package to a different history implementation[4] b) argued that fixing the bug (which was introduced in a patch release) would require a major version bump, implying it would be better to let it remain broken[5]. I concede that the software is open source, and nobody is entitled to make any demands of the maintainers. Nev

I will have to relook at this - the comment is from a year ago when they weren't using React. On a cursory look, it still seems to use a Node.JS based server [1]. One of the key side effects of needing a server is that there is a more involved distribution + installation process. You just can't run it on a static server like github pages or as a browser extension. [1] https://github.com/elastic/kibana/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=ha...
In Dejavu – Web UI for Elasticsearch
Kibana has quite a few rough edges but it takes non-technical users very far in terms of data exploration. Local setup also alleviates privacy concerns. The bummer is import/export: 'Upload CSV' feature has been almost introduced in 5.0 release but removed in the end [1], and CSV export has been asked for many times [2] but is still not there. So a user-friendly fork might be a worthy business idea. [1]: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/8497 [2]: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/1992
