Timberlogs – Drop-in structured logging for TypeScript

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) -…

In plain words

Timberlogs is a structured logging library for TypeScript that requires minimal setup, designed as an alternative to console.log in production environments. It automatically batches logs with retries, redacts sensitive information like passwords and tokens, and provides full-text search, a real-time dashboard, and flow tracking to link related logs. The library is currently in beta and free to use.

    As a longtime TypeScript/Node.js developer, I've often faced challenges with logging—choosing, using, and maintaining the right logger for various projects. While most loggers offer the usual methods like "info", "warn", and "error", they vary significantly in how they handle structured metadata or Error objects. This can lead to ad-hoc solutions, like serializing errors or writing custom pipelines, just to get logs formatted correctly. I built LogLayer to address these pain points by introducing a fluid, expressive API. With methods like "withMetadata" and "withError", LogLayer…

    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…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
