Show HN: LogLineAlign: Merge logs from different time zones into one timelinehttps://loglinealign.com

https://loglinealign.com/ I vibe-coded an application that merges entries from multiple log files into a single, chronologically ordered view. It handles timezone offsets and can auto-detect some timestamp formats, with an option to specify the format manually. Files are processed on your device and not uploaded to a server. It's all open source: https://github.com/jftuga/loglinealign In the repo, there is a quick, 3 minute narrated explainer video as well as a CLI version.

The Enso Method is a new set of AI skills for Claude Code and Codex which I've open sourced on GitHub predominantly for developers who build for someone else who is making the product/business calls. I've been using AI to write basically 100% of my code since late 2024, back in the Sonnet 3.5 days, when it barely worked and there were few people doing this and very little support for this way of developing. I stubbornly thought this was going to be the future and came up with a methodology for making it work, before "AI skills" were even a thing. Since then I've continued to refine the method…
