Vigil

Vigil watches every website, API and mail domain you manage.

What it does

Every client's project health, on one screen.Vigil watches every website, API and mail domain you manage — liveness, TLS, security headers, exposed secrets — and rolls it all up so a tired on-call engineer reads the whole portfolio in three seconds. A rule is one thing Vigil verifies. You group rules into a rulebook, and a project can run as many rulebooks as it needs. Twenty-three rule types across thirteen categories — every one included on every plan.

    Vigilant - Blazing fast dev-friendly logs2025 · vigilant.run · ▲8

    Hey HN! We're Ben and Izak, the cofounders of Vigilant. Vigilant is a lightweight tool for managing structured logs. It lets you centralize your logs, search them, and create alerts. We used Cloudwatch for logs on our last product, and it was quite painful. Even basic searches felt tedious. We’ve used dedicated observability tools at past jobs, but most of them have a steep learning curve and require widespread integration (and some still feel clunky). With Vigilant, we're focused on making logs feel fast and simple. We operate at the application layer with an sdk. We're trying a unique…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
