Features

• Viewing clusters by clicking them (when label appears that confirms that a rack has been "hovered" and is therefore clickable)
• Return to top down view with helper button
• Turning nodes on and off (right-click on them and select start/stop depending on current status)
• Moving nodes to new slots in a rack (click on a node to unrack it, click in another slot to rerack it)
• Cluster name shown on rack hover (in top-down view)
• Node name shown on node hover (in cluster view)
• Zoom in with mouse wheel (quite dodgy, not recommended)
• Dynamically reloading node layout (any changes to room.yml are reflected in front-end session, checked every 10s)
• Display data overviews for currently selected cluster with button (does nothing in top-down view)
• Rapidly create clusters using "condensed" formatting
  • Note that this has some restrictions; nodes cannot be moved, nodes cannot be explicitly named
