Thank you for adopting SharpConsoleUI for the Chronicle workbench — it's been great to see it put to real use.
I experimented with the workbench's UI/UX on my fork. The functionality is the same — same commands, same data, nothing removed:
- A redesigned Overview dashboard — key numbers up front, problems color-coded
- Reading-first interaction — row activation opens a read-only detail modal; destructive actions stay behind explicit keys, buttons, and the context menu
- Detail-modal action buttons (with shortcuts), clickable status-bar hints, gradient sparklines, dimmed background behind modals, theme switching (F9/F10/F11), and a graceful quit confirmation
To be clear: this isn't a PR or a request to merge anything, partly a real-world test of SharpConsoleUI, partly just one direction for the workbench. I wanted to share where it landed and ask whether you'd be interested in a look.
Fork: https://github.com/nickprotop/cli/tree/feature/workbench-ui-polish
Happy to record a short walkthrough or split anything into smaller, reviewable pieces if there's appetite.
Thanks again,
Nikolaos
