   Qlog – grep for logs, but 100x faster▲17

   I built qlog because I got tired of waiting for grep to search through gigabytes of logs. qlog uses an inverted index (like search engines) to search millions of log lines in milliseconds.

Features: - Lightning fast indexing (1M+ lines/sec using mmap) - Sub-millisecond searches on indexed data - Beautiful terminal output with context lines - Auto-detects JSON, syslog, nginx, apache formats - Zero configuration - Works offline - Pure Python Example: qlog index './logs/*/*.log' qlog search "error"…

    QuackHouse, Database in the browser, using WASM and DuckDB▲7

    I'm building a privacy focused analytics tool, using WebAssembly and DuckDB. You can upload your files (CSV, JSON and Parquet), and interact with them as where they a SQL Server. Your data never leaves your computer, however I do track page views and visitors using Plausible. The next steps are to add forecasting and segmentation, as well as some data visualisation capabilities. I would love to hear your opinion. All code for the repo is available here: https://github.com/dilovancelik/client_side_analytics
