    Timberlogs – Drop-in structured logging for TypeScriptJan 2026 · ▲13

    Hi HN! I built Timberlogs because I was tired of console.log in production and existing logging solutions requiring too much setup. Timberlogs is a drop-in structured logging library for TypeScript: npm install timberlogs-client import { createTimberlogs } from "timberlogs-client"; const timber = createTimberlogs({ source: "my-app", environment: "production", apiKey: process.env.TIMBER_API_KEY, }); timber.info("User signed in", { userId: "123" }); timber.error("Payment failed", error); Features: - Auto-batching with retries - Automatic redaction of sensitive data (passwords, tokens) -…

  • We built a ClickHouse-based logging service2023 · github.com · ▲192

    Hey hn! I'm one of the co-founders of highlight.io, an open source monitoring tool. Today we're sharing a ClickHouse-based logging solution we've been working on. We wanted to showcase how we built it and share how you could try it out to give feedback. Since we started working on highlight.io, we've been hyper-focused on "cohesion", or ensuring that when you install your monitoring stack, all of the resources in that stack (user interactions, requests, traces, logs, etc.) are connected in a consumable way. We've written up more about our philosophy on this here [1]. We started building…

    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…
