   I am too! Glad to hear some others appreciate the potential. :-)

   Ree wrote up a web-based sysop "control panel" that uses MQTT:   
   https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/tree/master/webv4/components/webmonitor   
      
   I tried setting up up but didn't have much success, so I'm not sure how far   
   along it is. But I seem to recall at least one other sysop successfully using   
   it.

   Yeah, that'd be cool.   
      
   I was thinking QT myself for a future cross-platform replacement for the   
   Synchronet control panel (sbbsctrl) for Windows. But when attempting (in QT)   
   to recreate the same 4-main panel docksite interface we have to today in   
   sbbsctrl, I wasn't successful. I do plan to take another stab at that in the   
   future. Also considering using wxWidgets.
