> I've used Grafonnet before for doing Grafana at scale. Simply put, I hate it. Apparently an alternative is being worked on at Grafana so I'm waiting for that. But if you need to make hundreds of panels....it works well enough.

Hi, I run the Grafana team at Grafana Labs. I'd love to learn more about your Grafonnet use to help us build something better. I'm david at grafana com

> I love most of the people I've worked with at Grafana Cloud but it's a painful product. The price makes up for it though, so we use Grafana Cloud.

Hi, I run the Grafana team at Grafana Labs. If you could fix one thing, what would it be?

Which version are you using? And if you could tell us which datasources, that would help us as well. Narrowing this down helps us prioritise bugs.

Ryan (mentioned in the article) is building a team around this (non-timeseries data, sensors data, manufacturing). Head to our hiring page if you want to join his R&D team (US-remote).

I'm curious to hear what the hurdles are. Let me know if you want to chat, I'm David at Grafana.

It’s literally my job to keep Grafana real. Our budding UX team is getting a lot of training on SRE as a discipline and we run weekly internal UX feedback sessions where all of engineering can join and course-correct. Same with weekly feedback sessions with our existing user base. Get in touch with david at grafana if you’d like to participate.

Director of UX here. This year we rewrote a lot of the data flow plumbing in grafana to allow streaming with the very goal to enable sensor and other high frequency use cases. More to come soon

Amazing UX feedback, thanks!!

Director of UX here. We’re trying to find a way to have a graphical builder for simple queries. But anything with binary operators is a UI challenge that will be text based for a while. We’re testing the waters with a graphical LogQL builder for Loki first. Watch this space.

Yeah, we’re trying to make datasource query latency more obvious soon. It’s too easy to say Grafana is slow right now. We want users to make better decisions on what to optimize in their monitoring stack. That being said, dashboard search can be slow on bigger instances. But we’re working on it.

Director of UX here, we do want to integrate a trace viewer soon. We actively talking to Uber to find ways of directly reusing their Jäger components. Still considering other options too. Will check out your project!

Director of UX here. What's your mobile vs desktop use? Which devices are you using? That will help us getting more mobile-friendly in upcoming releases.

We're working on this for v6.6, so there are no designs yet.

Director of UX here. We're trying to focus on improving existing workflows and less on visual design changes. That being said, form styles will be overhauled soon.
