Merging inspect and report

[jacarrico]

Using flowcraft repeateadly I arrived to the conclusion that if the report can be only a flag on the inspect mode it would be better and would avoid to have 2 open terminal to get the same result. What are your opinions?

That could work, but the two services should be kept separate. We could either create a new flowcraft mode (flowcraft one-seeing-eye) that would actually run the two services in parallel and return both links? Or add a flag to each report and inspect to track each one, but that seams less intuitive.

@ODiogoSilva I agree to keep it separate because the user might want the option not to send results data for a webservice. It returns the inspect link with the button and the popup saying reports are available

and I would keep inspect. Report is a special case of inspecting the results

Usually when you already a have a complete analysis you don't return to the insect of the pipeline. It's arguably much more useful to have both services running while a pipeline is still executing. An alternative to the new flowcraft mode is to add a flag to the inspect mode to also launch the report service, in watch mode. Something like flowcraft inspect -m broadcast --report). I'm not against the suggested new mode by any means.
