This looks amazing, and I plan to switch to this from Rviz ASAP. Out of curiosity, can Foxglove be used with robotic systems that don’t use ROS?

Thanks for checking it out, and please join our community at https://foxglove.dev/community !

For non-ROS systems, we are working on an Extensions API that will eventually allow writing code to ingest data from a custom source. Currently it's just focused on custom visualizations, not the data pipeline piece yet: https://foxglove.dev/blog/announcing-foxglove-studio-extensi... However, if that's a strong need you have, we can show you where to modify the existing code to add a custom data source (it's possible, just not cleanly exposed into the extensions API yet).

For now, converting your other data to ROS bags first is your best bet. Please drop us a note here to discuss your needs in more detail: https://github.com/foxglove/studio/discussions/1268
