The idea of \u200b\u200bmanaging satellite frequencies through the console feels fresh, and the graphene and lighting create a pleasant space station atmosphere. Special respect for the architectural approach under the hood\u2014separation of logic and presentation (DDD) is rare in jams, and it's evident in the responsiveness of the interface.
