The missing UI for Helm - visualize your releases
A local web UI for Helm that lets you browse installed releases, diff manifests between revisions, and roll back without touching the CLI. It runs as a standalone binary or Helm plugin, talks to your existing kubeconfig, and requires no cluster-side installation. Aimed at Kubernetes operators who find `helm history` and `helm diff` painful to read in a terminal.
The manifest diff view between revisions is genuinely the killer feature — seeing exactly what changed in rendered templates before rolling back is something the CLI does poorly. Multi-cluster support via kubeconfig context switching works without reconfiguration. The standalone binary mode (no Helm or kubectl required) makes it useful in environments where tooling is locked down. Integration with problem scanners (Trivy, etc.) directly in the revision view is a practical touch that saves context-switching.
Komodor is a commercial company and this is a lead-generation project — the analytics collection (DataDog RUM + Heap) is opt-out, not opt-in, which is a trust problem for something you're running inside a cluster network. The project is TypeScript frontend on top of a Go backend but the frontend leans heavily on Flowbite/Tailwind, and the component duplication in `src/components/` vs `src/components/common/` suggests structural drift that wasn't cleaned up. Read-heavy operations are fine but mutation support (upgrades, rollbacks) going through a local HTTP server means no audit trail and no RBAC integration — fine for local dev, a real gap if you deploy it into a shared cluster. Last significant activity feels maintenance-mode; the issues backlog has real feature gaps (OCI registry support, values schema validation) that haven't moved in a while.
