One thing I miss from developing native apps with Swift is the structured logging in the Console app.
I loathe scanning text logs and find Elixir’s output hard to scan. It’s often just a wall of text. Like in this screenshot:
Is there a solution for sending the logs to either the Console app or a custom-made UI? A solution where maps are rendered as nicely as with GitHub - software-mansion/live-debugger: Tool for debugging LiveView applications · GitHub maybe?

The primitives are there, but I’m not aware of ready made solutions.
:loggersupports structured logs and you can have handlers sending logs wherever you need.Though you still also need producers of logs to produce structured logs. If logs come from libraries that’s not just a change to your code.

Fixed that issue. I will try to revive it a little bit and remove dependencies on stuff like Cowboy, but that particular issue is fixed now.

Yeah, I’ve seen Logger supports structured logging.
I can live with that. If at least my own loggins are structured I am happy.
Ok, if no solution is there, maybe I should build it myself …

A solution for this would be great. I’ve had problems countless times with such long error messages, sometimes it would get so bad, that I would have to copy paste into a text editor and split it on my own to make any sense of it.
