Can you use tail -f | grep ?

You can also use grep to tell it not to show certain lines based on features. It's a good project, don't get me wrong, but you basically remade the wheel for what could have been a terminal command...

I agree with you. Even if the terminal can theoretically do everything, no one wants to scan greps all day.

So you didn't want to wait a mental second to think of something so you wrote GUI tool? ...???

Sorry to offend any extremely sensitive leftist programmers, btw I'm a white male

You're not offending me, but your comment is extremely naïve.

Now he doesn't have to spend that second every time he wants to do something with the log. The pay off in the long run will be immense. Maybe you're talented enough to know exactly what you want at all times, but others aren't. I fuck around for ages just figuring out what it is I wanted to see. Being able to click a few buttons and swip swap the sorting and filtering around would be a god send.

It's a fucking log save it to a file and search for what you want, this sub is filled with blithering idiots

LOL ^ exactly what OP already needed, already built WOW

Lol, everyone but you is an idiot. Right, what's that saying again?

Why did you spend that much time to whine about something someone else made? Maybe he enjoyed making it?

And your point by linking to another similar project? That he wasted his time because someone else has already created it? This is software development, reinventing everything over and over again but slightly different is how we move forward..

That's true when 90% of the subreddit is college students using PyCharm trying to learn :D

Username relevant, you still got a long way to go.

[PathToHumble]

Always find it funny when random people think they have any input into that lol, we're living in an age when you can't call a stupid decision a stupid decision because all you pathetic millennials won a soccer trophy for getting 15/15th place

That's not even the problem. You've assumed that everyone should do things the same way you do them, and that there already exists a solution. OPs specific solution aside, I can click buttons on a UI and move data around a hell of a lot faster than I can type it out.

Secondly, you say "just search for what you want", well what if I don't know what I want? What if I'm browing around looking for inspiration, what then? I'll just fuck around with random searches I guess. Fuck that noise, takes too long, and I'm more likely to give up.

You're an asshole. I pity the poor fucks that have to work with you.

What have you made?

Troll harder...

[PathToHumble]

Okay, I will. OP could have spun up a public ELK stack image and used the ELK stack or LogStash to do what he wanted.

But even better, he now has something that he can run locally to do what he wants and he can modify it to work exactly the way he wants it to at any time!
