Please keep working on this! I started a similar tool because I desperately needed it, but haven’t found the time to maintain it. https://github.com/corytheboyd-smartsheet/json-log-explorer

Having something like the log explorer in DataDog for local development is so insanely useful

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 content.

Absolutely agreed, and glad someone else is out there fighting the good fight :)

What terminal-based tools are you thinking of when you say this? Just tail/grep/less?

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 for so long and follow it as an example when building Logdy.
