Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
I think it's a little bit beyond "half" baked, but I built a thing I call Logsuck last year: <a href="https://github.com/jackbister/logsuck" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/jackbister/logsuck</a><p>The idea is to have a free Splunk alternative which you can set up with just one binary. I use Splunk at work and love it, but it just doesn't seem like a product for solo developers (I can't even find a pricing page on splunk.com), and the primary free alternative, the ELK stack, seems a bit complicated to set up.<p>I am sure that I'll never be competitive with Splunk or Elastic in terms of features or scalability but I'm trying to build something that is at least useful for my own projects.<p>I built it in Go and use SQLite with the FTS (<a href="https://sqlite.org/fts3.html" rel="nofollow">https://sqlite.org/fts3.html</a>) extension to store the log events in a way where they can be searched quickly.
