TailTub

TailTub is a streamlined tool designed for developers who need to share and view application and server logs in real-time. It operates similarly to Requestb.in, but TailTub focuses on streaming logs via standard input (stdin). With this utility, users can easily pipe their logs to TailTub, which then generates a unique URL that can be shared with team members for immediate access to log data. This approach is particularly beneficial for developers working with testers who may not have SSH access to the server.

Key functionalities of TailTub include:
- Real-time log sharing: Simplifies the process of sharing logs by providing a unique link for instant viewing.
- Zero dependencies: TailTub is a single-file tool with no additional requirements, making it easy to integrate into existing workflows.
- Long-running process monitoring: Users can keep track of logs from long-running applications without interruption.
- Error alerts: TailTub supports alerting mechanisms to notify users about errors in their logs.

As TailTub continues to evolve, the creator, Stephen Rhyne, plans to introduce enhancements such as JSON parsing, advanced filtering, and webhook integrations. The tool is especially useful for developers looking to enhance collaboration and streamline their logging processes.
