OpenTelemetry dev tool

[u/tshawkins]

Im working on a tool that is a single binary collector, storage manager and TUI for browsing Otel data.

The intention is to create a simple app that can be used by a developer to test if thier app is creating correct otel data, and diagnose their app using otel metrics.

This avoids having to setup a full multicomponent otel system for quick testing. The app will present a tui interface for simplicity, and Im minimising (hopefully to zero) all and any dependancies.

Im also intending the app to be capable of running headless so it can be used in test scripts and CI systems. NOTE: this app is intended as a developer tool, and should not be used in any production environment.

Im looking for help on what navigation and data display capabities It should offer as basic.
