    It's absolutely crazy that they were accepted in the first place

    That's true, unfortunately. Very sorry abut this, and it's my fault that we weren't resilient to this failure. We'll be migrating the webapp to a more resilient architecture as a f…

    Apologies everyone! indeed our webapp unfortunately went down together with Railway - we're working hard to bring it up

    Love the analogy! We honestly just wanted to have this product ourselves, and that was our primary motivation behind building it. I agree with the philosophical principle! If you g…

    Great question! I like to think about this in two ways: 1. Counter-positioning. Most existing tools have invested heavily in their web platforms and compete on their UI/UX. But act…

    Good question! We don't have one as of today, just because we're iterating very quickly and a cloud version is the quickest way for us to keep things lean and up-to-date, but we're…

    Thank you! Glad you liked the install process :) I'm afraid a collector and the operator are still the recommended way to go by OpenTelemetry ( https://opentelemetry.io/docs/platfo…

    Great question! The investigation agent has access to all the telemetry - not only one service. So we can actually trace the root cause in such complex cases! There are good ways t…

    You're right! It's a big issue and I don't think there's a silver bullet. We have an eval suite with code+telemetry fixtures and a golden RCA+patches and an LLM-as-a-Judge. So when…

    Very good point on the confidence gate! We've rolled out feedback collection features on PRs themselves, on Slack notifications and incidents a few days ago so the data is still a …

    Very good point, thank you! Let me remove this phrase, you're right, it's misleading. The pricing is only by usage (traces/logs/metrics) and investigation credits. We don't charge …

    Got it! What channel would you prefer instead? Would Telegram/WhatsApp/Signal/iMessage be good? The platform itself doesn't need Slack to function, we just observed that users got …

    Thanks for the feedback! When you're installing Superlog, you can use any coding agent you'd like, including a local model. Your telemetry then goes into our data stores, and right…

    Hm, sorry about that! I made the Slack onboarding step mandatory for now since we thought that a lot of our value was in sending investigations and PRs, and Slack was what we used …

    Thank you! Very good point. Right now, the prompt will enumerate all the services and install the OpenTelemetry SDK ( https://opentelemetry.io/ ) in each service. Then for every se…
