Agreed on SQL being the best exploratory interface for agents. I've been building Logchef[1], an open-source log viewer for ClickHouse, and found the same thing — when you give an …

https://mrkaran.dev Personal blog I update every now and then. Mostly infrastructure, networking, and observability stuff.

Just want to say thanks for creating Vector. We use it heavily at Zerodha and wrote about our setup here: https://zerodha.tech/blog/logging-at-zerodha/ It replaced both Filebeat an…

I've landed on a similar philosophy but with a slightly different approach to orchestration. Instead of managing everything interactively, I built a lightweight bash-based deployme…

Hey HN, I'm Karan. I built Logchef because we moved our log workloads to ClickHouse at Zerodha and found the ecosystem lacking for actual log exploration. Tools like Metabase and G…

I also quite like Localsend to quickly share files on the same network. Used to send photos/files to myself on Whatsapp/Telegram before but after discovering Localsend, stopped! ht…

I've been working on LogChef ( https://logchef.app ) - a specialized log analytics UI for ClickHouse that focuses on powerful querying and exploration without the complexity of ful…

It's great to see Typst getting more visibility. We migrated a real-world workload to it a couple of years back: generating and e-mailing 1.5M+ PDFs daily at my org, Zerodha. Our p…

Hi HN, I wanted a simple way to expose local dev servers to the internet that I could host myself, so I built Arbok. It's an open-source tunneling service that uses WireGuard for t…

Thanks! :) fixed the typo.

I'm working on Logchef: https://github.com/mr-karan/logchef It's an open-source (AGPLv3), purpose-built log analytics UI specifically for ClickHouse. I've been using ClickHouse for…

So, Logchef has a concept of "Source" which represents a ClickHouse table. You give the DSN (essentially host/port/user/password for now) and connect. In prod scenarios, usually yo…

Hey HN! I’m Karan, creator of Logchef ( https://logchef.app ), an open-source log viewer built specifically for exploring logs stored in ClickHouse. This tool grew directly out of …

Never knew about `tab` shortcut, thanks for letting me know! BTW, as I was using it today, I was quite surprised to see `@` working now. Turns out in 0.27.5 they added this feature…

What I don’t like about Claude Code is why can’t they give command line flags for this stuff? It’s better documented and people don’t have to discover this the hard way. Similarly,…

I'm curious to understand the implications of the AGPL-3.0 license in the context of this project. It sounds like the author doesn't want big corps to offer a hosted version of thi…

Looks like a solid project, will be interested in giving it a shot Aside: I built my own expense tracker [1] as well to categorise expenses using LLMs as I needed a quick way to lo…

Never really caught on with the idea of integrating external I/O in something as fundamental as logging. More often that not a pull vs push approach is suited for logging. There ar…

I've also made a similar tool: https://doggo.mrkaran.dev/ . Can be useful when you want to query with a custom nameserver.
