I've just gone through the "Docs" section and I appreciate how it covers the intended workflow and use cases. I'm on Debian/Intel and other than the need to install Chrome I only had a few small issues.

++ A self contained appImage is a good way to go, but where do you put it? A default install location should be added for those used to an `apt install`.

I went `sudo wget $URL -C /usr/local/bin/` and `chmod +x $appimage`. This worked fine until Collection creation when some internal state change smacked into my root owned file permissions. I `chmod 777` it and restarted the app, no more issue. It's my machine and I can chmod how I want but I think doc clarity would help those unfamiliar with appimage.

++ Renaming projects, collections, etc is cumbersome. For example, when clicking the 'New Project" pencil a change name window opens with several steps needed then to rename the project. That single click could combine opening the window, that window grabbing focus, with the cursor in a blank form window, followed by 'Enter'.

++ Ability to toggle showing the Properties column. On a 14" hi rez laptop, the screen is crowded. And resize Project width.

++ The default flow view size is too small.

I hope that's helpful. A small number of UI tweaks and it's already at "Don't F*** With It!" stage. The issues above are small and don't take away from how great and EXCITED I was going through the tutorial. I went through the entire docs and the tutorial and I think it's a fine program. Your layout of the DOM response is also really nice!




I'm glad to hear that you like the product and found the tutorial helpful. I've updated the documentation to include instructions for installing the AppImage—thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I really appreciate your detailed feedback on the UI and usability. I'll definitely take your suggestions into consideration and work on implementing them in future versions.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts!
