A lean viewer for Phoebus Display Builder .bob screens (and CS-Studio BOY .opi screens), written in Rust with egui. It shows live EPICS Channel Access and PV Access values, including areaDetector images, and is small enough to run on a phone. The same app runs in a browser, served by bobview-server.
