Live logs inside your IDE to Debug without context switching
39 followers
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.
Observer
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?

Love this idea, the context switch is real and breaks my vibe coding flow! Trying this now.
What insights does Observer generate?
Observer
@prabhjotsl Thanks Prabhjot! Observer analyzes your PostHog event stream every 30 seconds and flags things like error spikes, performance regressions, unusual traffic patterns, and behavioral anomalies. Each insight comes with a summary and a detailed breakdown you can expand. And if you want to dig deeper into any insight, you can hit "Go Deeper" to start a chat and ask follow-up questions about it.
