This is a solution looking for a problem. The browser is a horrible place for viewing text logs. Companies like Splunk and Datadog put countless hours into trying to make it work and it's never not-painful to view logs in a browser.

Some CLI viewers for logs are listed on https://github.com/dloss/klp, as alternatives to my own little tool "klp".
What are the main specific issues that you felt difficult in viewing logs on a browser? imagine there is better visualisation, parsing, highlighting, filtering, collapse etc.? I feel like the terminal is where I spend more time looking for the relevant parts from the logs.
What's better? I ask out of ignorance, but personally I think Datadog is amazing for viewing logs.
