Zero-config OTLP listener beats Jaeger for local trace debugging sessions.
Strengths
- •PGlite persistence option enables trace recovery across restarts without full database setup
- •Honeycomb-style waterfall with keyboard navigation speeds up span inspection workflows
- •Incremental ingestion handles out-of-order spans from distributed services correctly
Weaknesses
- •In-memory default means traces lost on restart unless PGlite configured
- •No production deployment guidance or clustering support for team use

Post Description
(The author is a work colleague, I'm posting on he's behalf due to "Show HN" limitations for new accounts)
During my recent projects with OpenTelemetry, I was looking for a truly practical tool for local development.
I found several existing solutions —some very powerful— but for my day-to-day local use, they were often too heavy, not simple enough to install, or not quick enough to get started with.
So I decided to build my own dedicated tool: otel-gui.
This is not a complete observability suite nor a telemetry backend designed for large-scale production or long-term retention. It's a tool designed for developers who want to debug efficiently locally.

Npx Claude-traces, visualizer for Claude Code/Agent SDK traces
Runs with one npx command and immediately surfaces a helpful timeline view with token counts, tool I/O panes and subagent nesting — exactly the sort of visibility you want when an agent goes off the rails. Cleverly reads the local ~/.claude/projects traces so setup is trivial, but its usefulness is limited by being Claude-only and local; add search/aggregation or a team-sharing mode and this jumps up a tier.
