Log storage and search system for structured logging data in Rust. i.e a database optimised for logs and log-like data and nothing else. Existing solutions are too inefficient for the use case of logs (TB+/day), suffer under high field cardinality, are based on costly and unnecessary full-text-search systems that aren't well optimised for logs data or just plain and simply can't handle structured data and degrade to…

Definitely interested if FOSS. Also ideally if it's possible to dynamically create & modify filter pipelines/complex searches in it.

I'm making a new tool for writers. With it, you'll be able to write your essays on "layers" The problem? Tweets are easier to read than long-form essays, as they require less time commitment. If the content is not good on a long-form article, you'll find out way too late. With this tool I'm developing: Layer 1 is the shortest version of your essay, the 1 min read — like a tweet. The idea boiled down to the shortest v…

Neat. This layered approach reminds me of the Youtube series where they explain concepts such as Quantum Physics at 5 different levels of difficulty (children, highschool/uni students, phds, field experts).

After noticing that the growing number of people at my day job seemed to be using our internal jargon differently, I decided to write a team glossary using confluence. The experience left me wanting. No crosslinking of terms, no enforcement of structure/format. Ugly/outdated styling.

I thought there had to be a better way, but I couldn't find one so I built Jargonaut (https://www.jargonaut.net). It helps you build a nice, crosslinked list of terms/definitions, and provides simple slack integrations to allow you to pull in a definition into slack.

I have lots of ideas to add more value, but I want to get a feeling from others on whether you would use such a specialized tool instead of your bog standard wiki. Would you consider parting with money for it for your team?

I'm building two things:

https://repocounters.com This is a tool to track download history for Github releases over time. I'm working on adding support for Github packages. And Docker is next on the list as well.

The other project is Stilton. Not available yet. It is a centralized certificate issuance server for ACME protocol, primarily targeted for organizations running large number of domains and need TLS certs for them.

I’m cleaning out my garage to build an RV 12, a popular type of two-seat single engine home built airplane. Putting time at home to good use! https://www.vansaircraft.com/rv-12is/

That plane looks awesome! Sent me down a rabbit hole. Best of luck!
