Just tried using it a bit. Seems nice and fast. But I am really lacking the ability to inspect message headers. Is that on the roadmap?

Actually we haven't thought about message headers as we haven't used them for so long. Please submit an issue in GitHub and it would be awesome if you describe how you are using headers (what do you use them for?).

I think we should definitely support that.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

These ones (stolen from another comment)? > CMAK, AKHQ, Kafdrop, Kowl, Conduktor, Kafkatool Maybe if they had been given better, more descriptive, names they'd have been easier to fit

Some of these had more descriptive names, but the apache software foundation doesn't allow names with "Kafka" as part of the name because it's a protected trademark apparently.

I confirm ! I need to rename KafkaHQ to AKHQ : https://twitter.com/akhq_io/status/1240037275565727744 Apache Committee ask to rename the project as CMAK and others ...
