I built a way to see every container's logs as one live, color-coded stream

A terminal UI that merges and color-codes logs across a whole compose stack so you stop juggling ten panes. Written in Rust, ships as a single binary, and starts instantly. The trick is that it tails every container at once and interleaves them on one timeline, with per-service colors and a filter you can edit live without restarting. I built it during an incident where the bug was obvious in the logs but I could not see it across four scrolling windows at 2am. It handles backpressure now, so a chatty container does not drown out the quiet one that is actually failing. Saved filter presets and a jump-to-last-error key are next on the list.
