I've had it all:

A SaaS for freelancers... that I never had time to finish because I'm a freelancer.

A revolutionary AI tool that I abandoned as soon as GPT-4 came out.

And the famous "anti-social media social network" (spoiler: it was just me).

I buy a domain name → I code for 3 all-nighters → I lose interest → I start again.

My Google Domains look like a graveyard of unfinished dreams.

But honestly, I've never learned so much, nor enjoyed it so much.

And one day, I might release one that takes off. Or not. But I'll be ready.

I am wondering if any of you is using a logging SaaS that you're happy with. I've been using logz.io but I am not impressed with it, and our team's research hasn't uncovered better alternatives.

In short, what we're looking for is:\n- Some service to which we can push our logs.\n- That will show our logs in their platform within 1-2 minutes of them being generated (almost real time).\n- That provides a decent UI for querying logs using free text search and date ranges.\n- That can let you set basic alerts to Slack.\n- That doesn't cost an absurd amount of money (< 1000x on the underlying computing resources).

Based on previous experience, I don't want to run (or use) Grafana or Loki. I'd rather use a good SaaS and pay ~100USD/mo for a relatively small volume of logs.

First things first, I did some research on which framework to use. The obvious ones are React, Angular and Vue. After doing some research using Google (Blogs, Trends, NPM Stats etc.) and my favorite AI companion, I developed a sympathy towards Vue. I'm not exactly sure why. While researching I installed a browser extension to view the technologies used on a website. Whenever I visited a website that I liked (anthropic, openai, linear, notion), I checked what they were using. And this is what brings me to this question: most use React and Next.js. For a side project it's probably not important whether I use Vue or React and I should go with whatever I feel comfortable with but I was wondering why so many (popular) companies choose React + Next.
