Has anybody worked on or at least thought about creating a **flow file viewer**? This might be (or is already?) a feature in flow forge. However, my idea of this viewer is more or less a "stand-alone thing" which lets you explore flows without running a Node-RED service somewhere.

Or is it a bad idea? I did not fully think it through yet.
