A tool to visualise Zod validation errors

I work on code generator that creates TypeScript SDKs from OpenAPI specs and Zod (https://zod.dev/) is a critical building block that I chose to power runtime validation in those SDKs. Depending on the complexity of a Zod schema, the resulting validation error message can contain a wall of JSON text - the serialised issues that were recorded during validation. I wanted to try and create a small tool to help me better visualise and parse these errors. In code and the command line, we do also have the ability to pretty-print the errors but I still wanted a web UI which can let…

In plain words

This tool visualizes Zod validation errors in a web interface, making it easier to read and understand error messages generated during runtime validation. It's designed for developers working with TypeScript SDKs built from OpenAPI specs that use Zod for validation. Instead of parsing walls of JSON error text, users can see formatted, shareable error visualizations in their browser.

    Hey, I'm Martyn and I recently joined Zuplo. OpenAPI is a huge part of what we do, but getting a document up to scratch out of the gate, especially if you're not super well versed in the actual specification and what you should use and when. So we built a suite of tools to help with this called Rate My OpenAPI. It will score your OpenAPI document out of 100, as well as giving you individual scores in 4 key areas; completeness, SDK generation, security and documentation. Along with the score, you also get details of what the issues, or errors are, as well as guidance on what they actually…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
