It's been fun working closely with the team at ClickFunnels to level up their application monitoring. If you're in a similar position, we'd love to talk.

We recently shipped a Honeybadger CLI. It works great for app monitoring workflows in Claude skills, and you can use it to report server/host metrics as a little treat.

I added a little feature to my dashboards TUI for Honeybadger that redraws the layout when the config changes on disk. Now I can have Claude work on the dashboards and watch them update live instead of restarting after making changes.

Claude is cool but Kevin is the real wizard here. Creating incident dashboards on the fly is something we do all the time at Honeybadger. It's a great way to share critical info with your team.

I once consulted for a fortune 100 and 10% of the time was writing software (it was finished). 90% was meetings. And then they scrapped the project and spent 10x on an off the shelf solution. So no I don’t think most companies are just going to build everything themselves.

I made a terminal dashboard for Honeybadger that lets you visualize your errors, logs, and performance metrics from the command line. It's written in Rust and uses YAML dashboards you can export directly from HB. You can install it with Homebrew — lmk if you try it! github.com/honeybadger-...

I tried this as a Claude skill with the Honeybadger MCP. 1. /honeybadger-debugger Find me an easy bug to fix in <project>. 2. Fix it. 3. If we have to delete the spec, we probably don't want to fix it there... 4. That looks good! Commit and PR. And it was fixed!

In 2025, we hit the conference circuit—RailsConf, Laracon, ElixirConf, to name a few. We shipped smart "Just Enough APM™" dashboards, Insights Alarms, an EU data region, plus integrations with @incident.io, @rootly.com, and more. Thanks for a great year. See you in 2026! 🧡
