Wide UI for desktop

[nathanael-h]

Hello, first thanks a lot for this application! I saw there are two styles for the UI, one is "Classic mode" and the other one is the default. I was wondering if we could tune the UI to fit better on wide screens, especially on desktop?

For example, in the pod list, there is actually one card PodListItem per pod, this is very comfortable on mobile, but I think on desktop it would be more common to use a table, with one row per pod.

What do you think of this, generally speaking? I might help with this because I am used to flutter.

Hi @nathanael-h, for now I removed support for web and desktop, because I also didn't liked the UI on these platforms and I didn't have that much time to improve it.

I'm currently not sure if I want to re-add them, mainly because I do not know how much effort it will cost to create a great ui for these platforms. What I want to avoid is to implement each widget twice for the different platforms.

If you have some suggestions for desktop / web implementation I'm happy to hear them.

Hello @ricoberger , I totally understand your point (removing desktop and web because it is not as good as you'd like and because you don't have time to improve it). That being said, I am a little bit sad, because I would have liked to replace Lens on desktop by your flutter app, and maybe to contribute to a better UI on wider screen (tablets, desktops), step by step on my free time.

Regarding the UI, having a simple adaptive UI might be not so difficult I think. But I'd need to look at the latest version 5 update to see what is looks like actually, before sharing suggestions.

Another thing, I looked at the go library for mobile and tried to build it for desktop. As I am not a golang dev, it is not so easy to me, would you share a few tips so that I could build it on desktop (linux, x64)? (I might open a dedicated discussion for that if you prefer).

exactly the same purpose, I decided to remove Lens and setup simple web ui client for developers, seems it's impossible with kubenav anymore, well seems need to setup default kubernetes dashboard
