Foreman 3.16 release candidate feedback

no, I don’t think so, although I admit I do like that,

but look how formatted and aligned the text is, it’s a clear separator - maybe the lack of boarders makes it appear less formatted than it actually is, the alignment of the power indicator (and colour) the left align on it, makes it appear seperate from the resource, where as the centre alignment next to a left aligned resouce name is clearly a ‘status’ of that resource.
Also the puppet run status, the green/amber/red indicator next to the resource name (doesn’t have to be in the same column) but at a glance I can see the status of that resource.

I do like the more modern feel to the buttons, eg: the 3 dot buttons rather than the clunky edit button,

it feels less useful information, and the information that is there is not presented as neatly, clearly, or as ‘naturally’ than the legacy UI.

I actually think this is a great starting point, which is why I’ve been following it each release, and why I’m a little personally disappointed it’s not matured/progressed - this page is your front door to foreman, it should be really useful and really well presented, I’m being a little over the top saying it looks like it’s hammer output to a sed and awk based table, but compared to what was there before, that’s how it feels.
