Show HN: Timberlogs – Drop-in structured logging for TypeScript

Hi HN! I built Timberlogs because I was tired of console.log in production and existing logging solutions requiring too much setup.

Timberlogs is a drop-in structured logging library for TypeScript:

    npm install timberlogs-client

    import { createTimberlogs } from "timberlogs-client";
    
    const timber = createTimberlogs({
      source: "my-app",
      environment: "production",
      apiKey: process.env.TIMBER_API_KEY,
    });
    
    timber.info("User signed in", { userId: "123" });
    timber.error("Payment failed", error);
Features: - Auto-batching with retries - Automatic redaction of sensitive data (passwords, tokens) - Full-text search across all your logs - Real-time dashboard - Flow tracking to link related logs

It's currently in beta and free to use. Would love feedback from the HN community.

Show HN: OpenWork – An open-source alternative to Claude Cowork

Show HN: OpenWork – An open-source alternative to Claude Cowork

hi hn,

i built openwork, an open-source, local-first system inspired by claude cowork.

it’s a native desktop app that runs on top of opencode (opencode.ai). it’s basically an alternative gui for opencode, which (at least until now) has been more focused on technical folks.

the original seed for openwork was simple: i have a home server, and i wanted my wife and i to be able to run privileged workflows. things like controlling home assistant, or deploying custom web apps (e.g. our customs recipe app recipes.benjaminshafii.com), legal torrents, without living in a terminal.

our initial setup was running the opencode web server directly and sharing credentials to it. that worked, but i found the web ui unreliable and very unfriendly for non-technical users.

the goal with openwork is to bring the kind of workflows i’m used to running in the cli into a gui, while keeping a very deep extensibility mindset. ideally this grows into something closer to an obsidian-style ecosystem, but for agentic work.

some core principles i had in mind:

- open by design: no black boxes, no hosted lock-in. everything runs locally or on your own servers. (models don’t run locally yet, but both opencode and openwork are built with that future in mind.) - hyper extensible: skills are installable modules via a skill/package manager, using the native opencode plugin ecosystem. - non-technical by default: plans, progress, permissions, and artifacts are surfaced in the ui, not buried in logs.

you can already try it: - there’s an unsigned dmg - or you can clone the repo, install deps, and if you already have opencode running it should work right away

it’s very alpha, lots of rough edges. i’d love feedback on what feels the roughest or most confusing.

happy to answer questions.

Show HN: BGP Scout – BGP Network Browser

Hi HN,

When working with BGP data, I kept running into the same friction: it’s easy to get raw data, but surprisingly hard to browse networks over time — especially by when they appeared, where they operate, and what they actually look like at a glance.

I built a small tool, bgpscout.io, to scratch that itch.

It lets you:

Browse ASNs by registration date and geography

See where a given network appears to have presence

View commonly scattered public data about an ASN in one place

Save searches to track when new networks matching certain criteria appear

All of this data is public already; the goal was to make exploration faster and less painful.

I haven’t invested heavily in expanding it yet. Before doing so, I’m curious:

Is this solving a real problem for you?

What would make something like this actually useful in day-to-day work?

Feedback is welcome.
