Oh yeah! lnav is famous. I remember using it like a decade ago to monitor an array of web servers while at GoDaddy; good ol' times.

First commit is from Sep 13, 2009: https://github.com/tstack/lnav/commit/b4ec432515e95e86ec9d71... . Woah! we’re old.

This is what the UX looked like back in the day: https://github.com/tstack/lnav/commit/bce2caa654160518ec11f6...

Aside from the bitmap font, this looks pretty much the same as it does now lol

I'll also add I used lnav more recently for viewing logs from many small lab devices centralized via syslog, it was extremely lightweight and effective.

Wow, the GitHub mobile app doesn't preview PNGs. TIL

GitHub website does on mobile.

GitHub mobile requires login, sadly.

I'm not seeing them on Chrome on Windows either, but FF works for me.
