Enrico, it’s easy. When I tried it, the basic functionality just didn’t work.
Just make a side-by-side comparison of Pulsar Manager with any of the following options: - Conduktor (Commercial). - Kafka UI by Provectus (Apache License 2.0). - Redpanda Console (ex-Kowl) (Mixed license). I see a significant gap in user experience between any of them and the Pulsar Manager. Also, I just don’t see much contribution activity. Redpanda Console and Kafka UI, each have about x10 times more commits in a year, than Pulsar Manager has in the last 3 years. Therefore I can’t conclude that the project is alive. Regarding the “Why from scratch?” question: - I found it easier for me personally because of the different tech stack I use. - Starting from scratch is a good opportunity to learn Pulsar itself. - I’d want to make a product around that. I'm not claiming that my result will be 100% better, but why not try? If someone is already doing or plans to do similar work, let’s collaborate!

Sorry about that, I have re-read the message, and I have just realised that I skipped the very first line :-) I have one question. IIUC you started from scratch a new UI, could you please explain why Pulsar Manager doesn't work for you?
