Tidytrace.com – Stack Trace Formatter
Hey HN Community, For years I’ve received bug reports with stack traces that were garbled and hard to read. It’s easy enough to use a regular expression to fix them, but I noticed that some folks on my team hadn’t thought to do that. So, I created TidyTrace.com to quickly and easily do it for my team members. For example, take this Java stack trace Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMismatchException\n\tat java.base/java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Scanner.java:939)\n\tat java.base/java.util.Scanner.next(Scanner.java:1594)\n\tat…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey HN Community, For years I’ve received bug reports with stack traces that were garbled and hard to read. It’s easy enough to use a regular expression to fix them, but I noticed that some folks on my team hadn’t thought to do that. So, I created TidyTrace.com to quickly and easily do it for my team members. For example, take this Java stack trace Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMismatchException\n\tat java.base/java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Scanner.java:939)\n\tat java.base/java.util.Scanner.next(Scanner.java:1594)\n\tat java.base/java.util.Scanner.nextFloat(Scanner.java:2496)\n\tat com.example.myJavaProject.hello.main(hello.java:12) After formatting it on TidyTrace.com, it’s much more readable Exception in thread "main" java.util.InputMismatchException at java.base/java.util.Scanner.throwFor(Scanner.java:939) at java.base/java.util.Scanner.next(Scanner.java:1594) at java.base/java.util.Scanner.nextFloat(Scanner.java:2496) at com.example.myJavaProject.hello.main(hello.java:12) Behind the Scenes: Actually formatting the stack trace was the least interesting part of this project. It could easily be written in a single line of code. I did split it to multiple lines for better formatting though. The real journey was in the other aspects of building and deploying the site. Adventures in Advertising: Attempting to monetize through Google AdSense hit a snag – apparently, TidyTrace was "too content-light" for their liking. An experiment with another ad network bombarded the site with adult content, so I took that down quickly! I know none of us need that to pop up at work haha. Deploying with Azure: I had never used Microsoft Azure before, and was pleasantly surprised how easy everything was. It was really cool that they had a free tier, and Azure created a Github action for me so that whenever I push to Github it automatically deploys the site. I didn’t read much of the Azure documentation myself; I just asked ChatGPT what to do each step of the way. Learning Curve: My CSS skills aren’t all that great, but ChatGPT did the heavy lifting for me. As part of this I learned about CSS Grid which is super cool! There’s a really quick/easy tutorial I found that was really enjoyable to go through: https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/interactive-guide-to-grid/ Example ChatGPT conversation: If you haven’t used ChatGPT 4 as part of your development process before, I highly recommend it! I’ve found it to be much better than GitHub Copilot. Just be sure you’re using ChatGPT 4, because it produces much higher quality code than 3.5. Here’s a real example conversation I used yesterday to tweak some of the behavior on the site. In this particular example, ChatGPT didn’t come up with exactly what I wanted so I gave up and asked ChatGPT for the API and fixed it myself. https://chat.openai.com/share/e8436702-937f-40ad-9977-ee7ee7... Feedback Wanted: I’d really appreciate your thoughts, feedback or suggestions on TidyTrace.com. In particular, if you have a stack trace that isn’t formatted well, I’d be happy to look to see if I can make TidyTrace.com fix it for you.

Hello, Are you curious to discover which snippets of your code were copied from Stackoverflow? Where else on the Internet are those icons that you copied a long time ago? Or simply to discover which licenses apply to the open source in your code? There's an app for that: http://triplecheck.net/quantum/ Development of this tooling took over two years, we archived over 630Tb of open source data around the web. Some sources of data have gone offline in the meanwhile but we kept a copy for posterity. Things to consider: - Stackoverflow snippet detection is limited to Java at…
