Errsole is a free open-source logger for Node.js applications. It comes with a built-in log viewer to view, filter, and search your application logs. Key Features: Minimal Setup, Advanced Logging, Built-in Log Viewer, Critical Error Notifications
I had previously tried using Elastic Stack and Loki to get a handle on logs, but it always turned into a mess of complex setup and extra infrastructure. Errsole turned out to be a lightweight solution to the same pain — when you just need to quickly see what’s going on in your app. I installed it, plugged it in — and it just worked, no fuss. A great tool, especially for local development and debugging.
Errsole saved us time and headaches—highly recommend!
I recently used Errsole for a client project, and it was a game-changer. We needed a simple yet powerful logging solution without the usual hassles of complex setups or expensive subscriptions. Errsole delivered exactly that.
What stood out: ✔ Zero friction setup – Literally installed the package, added a few lines of code, and logs started flowing. No servers, no Elasticsearch headaches. ✔ Built-in viewer – My client loved how easy it was to search and filter logs without needing extra tools. ✔ Lightweight but powerful – Handled all our logging needs, including error tracking, without bloating the app.
After struggling with heavy-duty logging stacks in the past, Errsole felt refreshingly simple. It’s perfect for small to mid-sized Node.js apps where you want visibility without the overhead.
Congrats, Rishi, on the launch of Errsole! It's great to see a straightforward logging solution that addresses common frustrations. Excited to see how developers respond to this.
As a contributor, what really pushed me toward Errsole was the pain I've faced with other logging solutions. They are complicated to set up. With Errsole, it's simple — just a couple of lines of code and you're good to go.
After talking to 1000+ devs, here's the trend: Smaller teams log to files or databases. Bigger ones use cloud logging services. What cloud logging services charge for, Errsole gives for free — and it's open-source.
Errsole was born from a simple frustration: “Why are logging solutions either too complex or way too pricey?”
I can literally sense the frustration from the name itself XD
Jokes apart, great launch Rishi! I know folks who spend hours wrangling with ELK and Loki just to get basic logs working. They would really like the "plug it in and go" approach of your product!
