Thanks @ben, this echoes what I think is a large part of the problem for people who do end up on the website.
I started out building this tool as a way to build real time visualisations for event streams (I have support for multiple visualisation types and the Space Invaders theme is just one of them), basically a "web based logstalgia" with built-in TV-mode.
I then figured that this is "fun" but not really a painkiller, so then pivoted slightly and started building more tranditional log management features (see video) but that's not shown on the landing page at all so I understand how that gives people the wrong idea.
Apart from that I also built a CLI client that allows people to "tail" their logs via the API.
I think what I'm currently doubting most is whether I should continue down this path or abandon it because the log ingestion space is become more crowded recently with players like BetterStack and Sentry integrating log management into their product offering.
Right, I would start by asking: "What can I do better than BetterStack/Sentry beyond an animation?"
And if you don't know, you should probably build something else. I tend to only build things where I think I can provide a significantly better solution.
