   I've built a first version of Logdy[1] over the weekend. Since then I have been developing it and it's getting traction and attention. Logdy is a real-time logs browser that is meant to replace viewing logs in a terminal during de

   I don't want to sound harsh nor demotivate you, but you've picked a very hard market IMO. If you have experience on working on such tool in a different company then leverage that knowledge to build a robust GTM strategy. Innovatin

   Looking at UptimeRobot, an established player, is simple, and cheaper than Proberix. Why would I go with Proberix?

   Why should I choose your service instead of one of many other established players on the market like UptimeRobot, Cronitor, Uptime.com, Checkly to name a few ?

   If you want to go back to IC role, that should not be a problem anywhere really. If you are tired of "all the responsibilities, management, etc" then you will probably not follow that path anymore, you tried and it's not for

   Don't do it. Unless you've foundn a specific niche, competing in a software house space will be a race to lowest price and you will often lose to Eastern Europe/India software houses. If you really want to do it, consider bui

   I've been working on Logdy.dev a web based UI for browsing logs. I want to offer developers a similar experience to logs browsing on production but during development stage. More on https://logdy.dev

    Here is an interesting plot twist. At the time, one of Miitla "competitors" was Kippt[1], I was impressed with their design at the time and followed them very carefully. Turns out, Kippt founder is Linear founder these days... Per

    Yeeeears ago (around 2011/2012) I've built a simple bookmarking app called Miitla (MInd IT LAter), you can still find references to it[1]. I was focused on providing a simple bookmarking experience with tags and such. Unfortunatel

    yeah I get it, but why? I can get a VPS and run a curl there, without bandwidth limits.

    Don't start with the solution, start with a problem. Define it, explore, and identify pain points, how is the problem solved right now? What can be made better? Don't start building until you understand what problem are you solvin

    It would be interesting to add "Use cases" section as I had to check HN comments to grasp what the service actually does. Question: how is your service different than generating a request from curl in Postman, saving it, then usin

    Did you consider posting an issue on GH? my 2 cents: if you intend to secure the content then it cannot be delivered to the client, as in: you need to have a password/token protected endpoint. If it's just for the visuals then I g

    Personally, I don't care about the build times as they happen in a GH workflow [1] and the compiled sources get updated to Cloudflare Pages that's how [2] gets deployed. [1] https://github.com/logdyhq/homepage

    I love VitePress, it's simple, extensible, and just works. For a basic documentation/blog page it's enough. I was able to build Logdy's website, documentation and blog with it. You can check the source code of the websit

    Its like dating, if the other party is interested in you, they will reach out. By reaching out to them, you may look like a desparate, which can lower your chances during negotitation stage (that would point them that you are only in a proc

    I recommend Show HN as I did with Logdy and got great results. If you seek for feedback, make sure you have a clear readme and/or landing page with docs so users can find out easily what problem your tool is solving. Also ask for feedb

    Is there a way to temporarily connect to Vector and select either sources or sinks to be duplicated into that stream (let's say stdout or TCP socket)? I'd love to find a use case for Logdy where I can just stream whatever is landi

    Idk whats bad about explicitly stating your own opinion on your own website that nobody forced you to enter. Because of people like, that hate without a particular reason, the web becomes a useless place where having your own opinion is som

    You missed providing enough data to come up with something that would actually make revenue for you. Abstracting from a business model you have, there are SaaS businesses that don't charge for API call but a license fee that compensate

    then the problem is not viewing the logs but storing them, maybe compressing, and then retrieving. If that's not a problem (size) then with some cron magic you should be able to store the logs from specific locations into a single one

    that and more magic of sed, awk, jq and similar. I know you can do real magic in there but still, I believe it's easier to learn GUI than vim shortcuts or sophisticated jq/awk formulas. Still, I admire terminal for being around fo

    Thanks for your kind words. I have a feature onnthe roadmap which is very close to delivery that will allow you to load a big log file and browse it through the UI. As long as you can load the content from disk or remotely, Logdy will be ab

    That was the idea exactly: I wanted to have DD log explorer locally that works insanely fast to be coupled within development process. As much as I love terminal, its just so limiting when it comes to browsing and filtering through more con
