I would like to introduce dejavu, a modern data browser for viewing Elasticsearch data. It's [open-source](https://github.com/appbaseio/dejaVu), available as an Elasticsearch plugin and as a [chrome app](http://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dejavu/lcanobbdndljimodckphgdmllahfcadd?hl=en). Since we launched it as an open-source project in March, it has gone over to gain 1,000+ developers. You can try it live here - [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/2X/f/f09288d1c8ac749f7a5b28627500c210245a2a5a.png)](http://appbaseio.github.io/dejaVu) It's a modern take on existing community built data browsers that have been around for a while. The one feature that's my personal favorite - an ability to share the exact browser state just by URL which comes in handy when sharing it to a colleague, posting on Q&A sites for debugging purposes, or showcasing demos and embedding it inside of web pages. Just wanted to give a shout out here and get your thoughts! ---

So is this entirely running on the client with no server side component? Kimbro ---

@kstaken Yes, no server components are used. That was one of the design goals to simplify distribution. It's built with React. ---

Dejavu can be run with Docker now [https://hub.docker.com/r/appbaseio/dejavu/](https://hub.docker.com/r/appbaseio/dejavu/). We would also like to support a Kibana plugin [https://github.com/appbaseio/dejavu/issues/41](https://github.com/appbaseio/dejavu/issues/41) and would be happy to take contributions from the community. ---
