After playing with it a bit more it looks nice but has fallen into an uncanny valley of usefulness. It provides a nice looking way to view the structure and a very syntax assisted way to change that structure, but no guidance whatsoever as to what you probably need to do. For example for me to deploy kubeforge I picked a set of 3 yaml files from something else and copied them to a new directory and then it was basically a search and replace to change the names and image file. So I had to really understand the files once and now I'm doing fairly mindless work to reuse them. But with kubeforge I have to deeply understand the details every time and select them from pulldowns - that's actually harder. I know I could have imported those yaml files first, made changes and exported them, but then I'd be going to the fields and changing them one by one, there is no equivalent of global search and replace. Now if I need to do something new/different then kubeforge can make it easier to figure out what options are at any given spot but still provides no guidance - I recently used initContainers for the first time in a project and could have used a "oh you want to set up an initContainer, here are the required elements for that".

Would love to take a deeper dive into what you feel would improve your experience.

I'd be happy to discuss, we'd need to figure out a better communication path but that's doable.

Some quick wins: - make the workspace persistent so you can resume what you were doing the last time you visited - the Swagger UI does this, not sure how but I suspect browser side storage. This might be easy for you. - more user feedback when you add a new block to the workspace. For example I kept clicking items from the toolbar wondering why nothing was happening until I finally realized a buttload of new objects had appeared in the workspace but weren't highlighted enough to notice them.

Some kind of auto-arrange would help a lot, starting with a pile of rectangles that you have to manually drag around to have any chance of making sense of it isn't ideal.

Graph diagrams look great but they fill a screen VERY quickly. There has to be a lot of thought into how to make the boxes as small as possible so someone can get the overall layout of the land, but can quickly access any details.

And the harder stuff would be some kind of assist dialog when you add a new toolbar item (I'm NOT going to suggest AI here, maybe just a dialog box which lists mandatory items and them other items in the order from most to least common). I understand this is tricky because you intend to support all API versions.
