I got tired of manually digging through log files - so I built a CLI that shows errors with context
Hi devs,
I kept running into the same frustration while debugging:
scrolling through massive log files just to locate where something actually broke.
So I built a small CLI tool called LogSnap to make that faster.
Instead of just showing error lines, it:
- detects errors and warnings automatically
- shows surrounding context lines
- works directly on raw logs
- can export structured reports
It’s intentionally lightweight and local - no monitoring stack, no setup, just run and inspect.
I’m not trying to promote anything - I genuinely want feedback from people who work with logs regularly:
- Would this be useful in your workflow?
- What would you expect from a tool like this?
- What’s missing that would make it actually valuable?

Appreciate any thoughts — even critical ones help a lot.
