A general purpose UI for FluxCD.
FluxCD is an amazing backend for all things gitops.
It is a shame that ArgoCD gained so much traction mostly because developers appreciate the UI. Rolling out a read-only ArgoCD UI made Argo the de-facto kubernetes dashboard, where people look at logs and various kubernetes resources.
Capacitor's goal is to level the field: providing a UI option for Flux users that matches or exceeds the level of ArgoCD.

Capacitor is built currently by Gimlet.io founder Laszlo Fogas on live streams:
- 1730CET, 16th October - Capacitor launch, Flux CRD backend
- 1700CET, 20th October - Rudimentary data model, bundling a React frontend
- 1730CET, 23rd October - Rendering Flux state
- 1700CET, 6th November - Product vision, Rendering Kustomizations, React event handlers
Capacitor wants to be more than a tool that displays Flux's CRDs in tables. Capacitor wants to provide contextualized information for developers to best operate their applications.
