Rendering logs in a web UI might seem simple: they are just lines of plain text. However, there are a lot of additional features that make them more useful to our users: coloring, grouping, search, permalinks, etc. but most importantly, the interface should work no matter if the log has ten or tens of thousands of lines.

I’ve been using Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code text editor for years with great success. The app has always been stable, flexible, and the best compliment I can give it: an afterthought.

Search results' sort-order is determined by match and "popularity". The post How…
There’s sometimes a tribal attitude about how web developers should be debugging their code and solving problems. There’s the console.log loyalists, then there’s the debugger/breakpoint maximalists.
