This looks dope, I'll check it out after my vacation for our Kafka clusters. I haven't yet found a decent web interface for Kafka. For cluster overview there's cruise-control but apart from that it all feels too messy and the UX is often more of an afterthought. Thanks for doing this. I hope your enterprise features provide you with sufficient revenue to keep this going. If not, maybe offer a donation button somewhere?

We don't have any expectations or force to make money with Kowl. Besides that we already use Kowl at our company where engineers use it with joy in their daily business. We don't only get valuable feedback from colleagues who use Kowl, but our employer does also sponsor our efforts with working time. If it ultimately turns out to be not profitable at all we will simply open source everything I guess.
