Have you ever felt fatigued by constantly switching between your IDE and observability tools when debugging? I kept losing my flow every time I had to leave VS Code to check PostHog. So, I built Observer to live stream logs right where I code. Now I catch issues faster and fix them without losing context. I hope it makes your debugging more efficient too.
Hey everyone! I'm Vidushee, the maker of Observer.
I built this because I was tired of the constant context-switching between my IDE and PostHog. Every time I needed to check what was happening with backend logs, I'd lose my flow, go to PostHog, write a query, scroll through results, switch back to code, forget what I was looking at.
Observer started as a simple log viewer in VS Code, but once I had live events streaming in, the next question was obvious: "can AI just tell me what's wrong?" So I added an analysis layer that runs every 30 seconds and surfaces anomalies. Then I added chat so I could ask follow-up questions about specific logs.
There's zero config, just plug in your keys and go.
We are adding more platforms and AI models. Here's what's coming next:
Platforms: Datadog, Sentry, Grafana AI models: Anthropic, Gemini
I'd love your feedback, what observability tools do you wish lived inside your editor? What's missing?
This is cool, I like the idea of how it sits in the IDE and still gives me a way to understand my logs.
Will give this a try for sure.
Can't I just use my cursor chat to chat with logs? What additional advantage does the chat inside plugin give me?
Love this idea, the context switch is real and breaks my vibe coding flow! Trying this now.
