Continuing work revamping Typica's configuration controls. What I'd like to try is taking all of the stuff that would normally involve users creating multiple configuration nodes and connecting those manually and instead have those capabilities listed in the channel configuration directly, leaving the underlying data flow pipelines as an implementation detail the person setting this up doesn't need to care about.
The hope here is that it's harder to create broken or nonsensical configurations and easier for people to find the features they want to use. I've more than once had people ask me if I'd consider adding features that had already been introduced years prior so there's clearly a discoverability problem there and I know that there are certain kinds of config changes that are kind of a pain to do right now that should be easier in the new design.
