I am not sure if you are open to UI suggestions (?). I am not a UI experts but I have rarely left more frustrated with a UI than with windmill, so I thought I might try to contribute (at least with feedback). (Note: Aside from that I love the tool)

  1. In the single run view: there is so little space left for the graph and the logs (before scrolling down)
    1.1: There is a lot of space wasted due to repeated information:
  • "Success" and "ran in 7.072s" is there twice.
  • The run id with a link to the exact page I am already on is there twice on the page (could be 0 given that is the page I am already on)
  • The "u/sergedc/js_case_email_ingest" is there twice (once in the title and one in the right side top box)
    1.2: Big empty space before the "Done" blue bar. Could the "Done" and the blue bar be on the same line
    Overall if feels like the design is done for 4:3 and not 16:9
  1. The flow view: a third of screen is taken by "json toggle", "no argument" "run/advance" buttons, then a huge empty space before the name of the flow and the edited time. All of that could be 1/10th of the screen. Result of which: I cannot see my entire flow.
  2. The flow view: big space taken by "no saved input". There is space there to have 20 saved inputs. What is more likely: people have 100 runs or 20 saved inputs? I think 100 runs.

I understand that use cases are different and it is difficult to have a UI that fit all use cases, but I thought you might want to hear some feedback from specific use case.
