Hi Elliott and Samuel,
While my proposal focuses on dart:io and VM Service instrumentation, I’ve been thinking ahead to the DevTools frontend UX for high-frequency WebSocket streams.
To handle large volumes of frames, would stream-management UI controls be worth considering? For example:
A “pause” toggle to freeze rendering while background traffic continues
Directional filtering (incoming vs outgoing)
This is not a change to my proposal scope, just a small UX consideration for a potential post-MVP enhancement.
I’d be interested in your thoughts on how developers should interact with this kind of high-volume data in DevTools.
Best regards,
Vineet Hegde
