What It Is

The Workflow That Drove It

Where It Stands

Try It It didn't start as a terminal. I wanted a live log viewer, something that could tail and filter structured JSON logs in real time without making me jump between windows. The kind of thing where you run kubectl logs mypod -f and actually see what's happening, filtered by level, searchable, right there. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, so I built it. Then I thought, why not make it a proper terminal and just add the log viewer as a sidebar? That's the idea that turned into Obsidian. Obsidian is a GTK4 desktop terminal workspace written in Rust. It ships three things in one window: The use case I kept coming back to was this: Pipe any log stream straight in. Filter by error level. Search for a specific field. Export what you need. All while your terminal is right next to it. You can also launch with filters pre-applied: This is v0.1.0-beta. It's early but the core workspace is solid. The aesthetic is intentionally opinionated, dark, black and red, no theme system. One clean look. There's a lot I still want to add, but I wanted to ship something real first rather than keep building in private.
