alt Hacker NewsHey there. I didn’t submit this post but I am the author of the app. I didn’t know about Headlamp when I started working on Luxury Yacht. I only discovered it a few weeks ago. Headlamp is great, and of course having CNCF’s backing means a lot.
I’m not trying to sell Luxury Yacht. It’s free to use. I’m not going to try to convince anyone to choose it over Headlamp, or any other tool. Of course I’m flattered if people like what I built, but that’s the extent of my investment.
I like Luxury Yacht better than Headlamp, but of course I do, because I built it to work exactly the way I want it to.
I think LY has a great user interface, and I didn't mean to dismiss your amazing work! That's what makes open source great.
I think Headlamp is less know but now that it's part of Kubernetes SIG UI and the kubernetes dashboard is essentially being deprecated, you'll see a lot more headlamp usage in the future imho and I think headlamp can benefit from more awareness and getting more folks involved too!
