I appreciate the premise, aria is a powerful tool.
However I immediately have two concerns:
1. Why would the author use a screenshot obviously downloading copyrighted material instead of linux ISOs? It's either on purpose, which I support, or lack of foresight.
2. As much as I love the JVM, it feels like the wrong platform for this UI. It's a bit of command routing and server side simple html rendering. Go or something would do just fine. The name says tiny, but it ships a UI in a 100M+ docker container, for aria, a 5M cli tool.
If I was building it for myself, I would have no issue with the larger overhead, because I'm comfortable with the ecosystem, but for other people to run it's not a great trade off.
Edit: Sorry, I think this reads pretty one-sided in retrospect, feel free to disregard. I'm trying to be less negative.
