I added "Copy page" and "View Markdown" actions to our @honeybadger.io docs. It re-renders the source markdown and converts relative links, images, and inline HTML/MDX/etc. Works well!

This was a fun collaboration with @excid3.com and can't wait for the features it will unlock at @hatchbox.io 🀘

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.

GitHub - honeybadger-io/hbtui: Terminal UI for Honeybadger Insights dashboards. πŸ“ˆ Terminal UI for Honeybadger Insights dashboards. πŸ“ˆ - honeybadger-io/hbtui

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 β€” lmk if you try it!

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.

Check-in payloads: know how your jobs ran, not just that they ran on time Basic check-ins tell you when your cron jobs and background tasks don't run on schedule. But what happens when a job runs and fails? Or takes twice as long as...

I recently shipped something fun for Honeybadger: You can keep closer tabs on your cron jobs now, and even use them to get data into Insights for querying, charts, and alarms. :)

How to Build a Copilot Agent That Debugs Production Errors Learn how to build a Copilot agent that connects to your error tracking tool, fetches stack traces automatically, and proposes fixes with tests.

Production debugging with AI agents has really improved my workflow lately. Here's how to automate fixing bugs on @github.com.

This approach should work for Claude Code and other agents too, lmk if you want ideas.

Still has a way to go, but I'll probably put it up on a GitHub repo at some point. Built in Rustβ€”Ratatui (ratatui.rs) is an awesome TUI framework.

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.

Here's something I cooked up over the weekend: a terminal user interface (TUI) that renders @honeybadger.io observability dashboards from our YAML source format (which we recently made public, more to come on that).

Honeybadger team collage from 2025 conferences featuring team selfies, booth setup with "Application Monitoring for your whole stack" banner, San Francisco Ruby Conference at Gateway Pavilion, group dinner, wooden skate decks with Honeybadger artwork, and "Future Proof Software" presentation backdrop.

In 2025, we hit the conference circuitβ€”RailsConf, Laracon, ElixirConf, to name a few.

We shipped smart "Just Enough APMβ„’" 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.
