We built Gonzo to make log analysis faster and friendlier in the terminal. Think of it like k9s for logs — a TUI that can ingest JSON, text, or OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs, highlight and boil up patterns, and even run AI models locally or via API to summarize logs. We’re still iterating, so ideas and contributions are welcome!

Creator here. I built lsq to solve a simple but annoying workflow problem: having to leave the terminal just to make quick notes in Logseq. Technical details: - Written in Go using Bubble Tea for the TUI - Reads Logseq's config.edn for format preferences - Supports both external editor ($EDITOR) and TUI modes - Handles both Markdown and Org formats Core design decisions: 1. Zero-config default installation (uses standard ~/Logseq path) 2. Single command to open today's journal (just 'lsq') 3. TUI mode for Logseq-specific features (TODO/priority cycling) The project started as a…

Hi Everyone! Kubetail is a general-purpose logging dashboard for Kubernetes, optimized for tailing logs across multi-container workloads in real-time. With Kubetail, you can view logs from all the containers in a workload (e.g. Deployment or DaemonSet) merged into a single chronological timeline, delivered to your browser or terminal. I launched Kubetail on HN last year and at that time the top request was to add search. Now I'm happy to say we finally have search available in our latest official release (cli/v0.4.3, helm/v0.10.1). You can check it out in action here:…

Caps-log is a compact TUI (Text-based User Interface) journaling application crafted in C++ and leveraging the FTXUI library for its terminal interface. It allows users to save daily log entries as simple markdown files, making it an appealing tool for those who prefer working within a terminal environment. The interface is designed with a calendar feature that stands out by marking the days associated with a log entry. Furthermore, it can accentuate days based on specific 'tags' or 'sections' identified in the logs, which are either markdown list items starting with '*' or level one…

I searched for a simple, self-hosted journal app for my girlfriend and everything I found was either too complex, too feature-heavy, too feature-less for what I needed or required trusting a cloud service. So I built Piruetas (it means pirouettes in Spanish - she chose the name btw). It's a day-per-page diary with rich text editing, drag-and-drop image uploads, auto-save, public share links, and a clean mobile UI. It can be set up for Personal or Multi-user usage via docker compose deployment. She seems to like it so I decided to give back to the community and make it available for everyone…

I don't like the existing query languages for Elasticsearch and Grafana Loki, because they are too awkward to use for typical logs' investigation cases. So I designed new query language - LogsQL - and wrote reference implementation for it as a part of VictoriaLogs - an open source database for logs. LogsQL is based on the following principles: - Simplicity. It is easy to write typical queries over logs in it. For example, a single word `error` is a valid LogsQL query, which returns all the logs with the `error` word. Another example is `_time:5m error`, which returns all the logs with the…
