A log file viewer written in Rust using iced-rs

Hi there 👋

My name's Alex and I'm a software developer at Moving Intelligence Germany. This README will be completed at a later date, so stay tuned 😄

logrust's Issues

Scrollview for the actual log file content

Displaying the actual content is probably the hardest task. There's quite a few things to be aware of:

• For performance concerns, we should only load about 2 or 3 times the window height of lines. This allows the user to scroll a bit while we dynamically load more data
• When changing filter criteria the scroll state should probably be reset since the scroll state might have changed

Grouping messages

Also a few options for this one:

• Group by log level
• Group by message
• Group by timestamp (this might be useful when comparing logs, i.e. for recurring jobs)

Theming

We need a dark mode at least. Maybe add some other options to choose from

Tab/Title bar

There needs to be some form of tab bar at the top where people can change all kinds of settings, choose a file, view an about page, etc.

iced-aw has a widget for this iirc

Filter options

How to display those in the most efficient way? In the top bar or in a split panel to the left/right of the log? Ideally, we have a few options to filter logs

• By log level (clarify if user defined or opinionated)
• By timestamp (probably need to have some date format setting for this)
• By search string
