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.

Gave the API stats page in @honeybadger.io a lil navigation refresh.
Honeybadger API Stats page showing the Insights tab with a bar chart of daily Insights volume over 30 days (ranging 2.8–5.6 GB), and a "Volume by project" table listing EU Honeybadger (299M events, 128 GB), EU Go Collector, EU Insights, and Statamic.

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.

I love being bootstrapped and self-funded so that we can just build stuff like this. I made it for myself, but now a customer is using it for their production dashboard in their home office.

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!

Hell yes! I am planning to spin up an official HB skills report this week, too. So much cool stuff it can do once it pulls in the structured logs.

It's actually really cool how fast you can move around in an interface like this compared to in the browser. I can literally copy/paste any Honeybadger dashboard source into this and use it in the terminal.

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! 🧡

Thanks! That’s the idea. We also already auto create GH issues from errors, so I think you could just assign the agent. Depends on the error and how good the model is of course but should definitely handle some common issues.

In case it isn't clear in the markdown preview, the agent has access to honeybadger-mcp-server tools, which allows it to look up info about production errors in Honeybadger: docs.honeybadger.io/resources/ll... Look at the raw markdown frontmatter to see how it works.
