Hi, I just got to know about your MiaB-Custom-UI and I wanted to say, that this is absolutely great. I was looking for couple of these UI/UX Improvements for such a long time. I will give it a try on a test machine.

Anway, I checked the screenshots and the demo and I really liked the collapsed domain feature. I think a great enhancement would be some kind of status icon next to a domain, if there are warnings or errors for this specific domain and a "collapse all" link. So you would be able to minimize the list but also immediately see, which section to open for details.

Anyway, keep the great work going!

Hey, thanks for the kind words! I built this project as an experiment and also as means to upskill a bit in react. I never actually used this interface in production and for that reason it's unlikely I'll make other changes tbh. I did ask the MiaB maintainers if they wanted to adopt this new interface and they mentioned it would be too hard to maintain, which is fair. Saying all of the that, if people do end up using this interface, I'd be happy to maintain it, but afaik no one is using it. I haven't yet figured out how best to use it in prod without it being reset when MiaB updates. If I make any further changes it would be to figure out how best to use it in prod. If others want to make changes I'm willing to review and accept PRs.

Hmm, I totally understand. I linked your project with @ddavness who created a mailinabox fork with some improvements/adaptions. Maybe this would be the right place for such an endeavor.
