Hey HN -- I'm really excited to finally release my hobby project, which I've been working for over a year now.
At work, we experimentally used distributed tracing to debug a highly-event driven multi-agent system. There are not many alternative tools for (distributed) trace visualization & analysis; we had tried both Jaeger & Zipkin's built-in UI and Trace Compass. And I've found that the debugging experience to be too cumbersome since these tools are built for inspecting just a single request (trace). I wanted to see all the traces produced by a specific cluster in a specific time range to see the bigger picture. I wanted a more customizable DevTools-like experience. So that's why I've built Stalk Studio. Hope someone else finds it useful too.

And of course, any feedback is appreciated.
