Oh hey.

I'm the developer that's been working on Play. There's some more information about it here: https://www.found.no/foundation/presenting-play/

In summary, it's a preview - neither feature complete nor bug free, and it badly needs some better getting started material. We wanted to get it out there as we think it's quite useful already, however.

We've pledged to open source it, and that's something I'll be working on in not too long, I hope. First out will probably be the search editor, which is something that's quite useful to run on a real cluster.

Happy to hear any and all constructive criticism. :)

Hey mate, I saw it from you answering my question on SO and have been having a play with it.. I really like it (even though I'm still struggling with my query!) and thought it deserved to be shared :)

Hehe. Thanks for the vote of confidence. :)

(Tip: You can auth with Github by clicking the octocat-icon, so you can save revisions of your query and get history through the gist. An often-missed feature I need to make more obvious. :)

This works wonderfully. It starts really fast (like below one second on Chrome in Macbook pro), creating new documents and searching seems to work for more complex field types. I like.

It's been a while I had to play (hah) with ElasticSearch, but I've been wanting to use it more. This kind of environment could work wonders, since exploring ES with mere curl can be daunting.

Though, to be really productive I'd need to install our custom analyzer, since Finnish is not really one of Lucene's strengths. Licensing requirements therein require using this inside our own cluster... :(

Can't wait the open source version!

EDIT: One minor nitpick: the toolbar at the upper right corner drops down on top of the panes and obscuring content there if browser window is too narrow. I'd rather it dropped below tab bar thus moving panes a bit downward.

It looks very nice, but I'd kill for more contrast!

This is great! I used Sense (chrome extension that does something similar) to define my Elasticsearch behavior a few weeks ago, but this looks like it has more going on so I'll definitely bookmark it and pull it up next time.
