Re: pgAdmin v4.1 - positive feedback

Let me join the chorus... To some degree, my complaints seem minor today compared to 1y ago, so it’s much improved. My organization made the move to Postgres 11, so I had no choice but to get re-acquainted with PGAdmin4 since III doesn't work at all anymore.

So here are some suggestions. I know, it's easy to make suggestions, and I wish I knew how to code the client-side so I could make some contribs, but I also think those suggestions may be fairly simple. Could you suggest some participation I could provide to help? Ticket, tracking, maybe doc?

  - One of the simplest features of PGAdmin III that I find myself missing EVERY DAY is simply the timer on the bottom right of the query window. When running queries, I often know how long they will take and so having that simple timer while the query runs is very useful 😊

  - Another simple feature is the ability to continue editing some queries while one query runs. I often manage multiple queries and on III, i would run one query while editing/fixing/preparing the next query in the same editor. I know I could open another editor but it's just not as convenient, and on the browser, no quick ALT-TAB.

  - More importantly, I find the backend still flaky. I am still experiencing frequent backend errors, or reaching a state where the whole front-end is broken. Short of going to the system tray and killing the backend server, there is no other way. I used to go to the Task Manager until I recently discover the "kill server" option on the tray. It'd be nice to have a menu option to "restart" the server from the browser UI and allow the UI to just survive a backend meltdown.
