Site renders extremely poorly on mobile safari that it is completely unreadable.

This is really cool! How are you sandboxing the tiles and allowing limited JS execution?

If I'm on 18.7.1, do I still need to upgrade?

seems to be the same as 18.7.2

The second example confuses me. The Person type has isCool: boolean, not an explicit true. How does using satisfies here pass coolPeopleOnly?

Really interested in how you do this. When I as looking into building my own finance-related app, you have to pay a ton to get market data (stocks, crypto, ETFs, options) and connecting bank accounts if it's not for individual use (you still have to pay for individual use, but not significantly as much).

Show HN: LogLayer v7 now with StatsD support

theogravity — Mon, 03 Nov 2025 00:59:14 +0000

I'm the author of LogLayer, a TypeScript abstraction layer for logging libraries with the ability to send logs to cloud providers like DataDog.

It's made for outputting structured logs, and I've designed the logging APIs to reflect that:

  log.withMetadata({ userId: 123 })
     .withError(new Error())
     .error("Something's wrong!")

Depending on the logging library you're using with LogLayer, it might look like:

  {
    "msg": "Something's wrong!",
    "metadata": {
      "userId": 123
    },
    "err":{
      "type": "Error",
      "message": "test",
    }
  }

The idea is if you decide the logging library isn't fulfilling your needs, you can easily swap out the library where LogLayer is initialized without having to change the code you've already written around logs.

This weekend, I launched v7 of LogLayer, which adds support for mixins. I wanted to keep LogLayer's API focused solely on logging, but also have the ability to extend it if needed.

The use-case that came up is my workplace wants better metrics. We do have auto-instrumentation for our systems, but there are times where we want more pin-pointed metrics. I've noticed in some cases, metrics and logging goes hand-in-hand, and thought that it'd be really nice if I could access the same logging client and be able to send metrics to StatsD as I write my logs.

In node.js land, I believe "hot-shots" is the StatsD client most would use, and created a mixin with it, which adds the hot-shots methods to the LogLayer API. So now you have the ability to send metrics + logs at the same time if you wanted this functionality:

  log.statsIncrement("error.count")
     .withMetadata({ userId: 123 })
     .withError(new Error())
     .error("Something's wrong!")

This will now send an increment call to StatsD in addition to shipping out your log to your logging library / cloud provider.

I'm hoping with this DX, thinking about metrics won't be an afterthought because you now have easy access to send it while writing logs.

(You can also send metrics without sending logs with the mixin.)

Adding new transports and documentation to my Typescript logging library (MIT licensed), LogLayer (https://loglayer.dev). Just added documentation for Bun and Deno support added some new logging library transports (LogTape), and finishing up Logflare and Betterstack transports so you can send logs to their logging APIs.

It's already happening. There are visual novel groups that take pateron sponsorship to run the script through machine translation. It's now done in giant batches. They're released for free and I am not able to speak of the quality as I've never tried them, but when I see reviews on steam for a VN that has been machine translated, it never results in a good review.

My first thought would be consistency in localization / typesetting. Groups have their own ways of localizing and typesetting content and most likely would not want to share their style guide when they lost out on something they recently translated to a lower bidder.

I also had similar issues and wrote a guide on how to use LogLayer + pino to get server-side logs working properly.

https://loglayer.dev/example-integrations/nextjs.html

Overall, the logging experience in Next.js is terrible, and not being able to chain middleware, even more so.

Really love the idea! I tried going to the FAQ on mobile safari on iOS and can't scroll on the answer sections, so the text is cut off.
