It was really just a rhetorical joke, but I wrote an app that is a system, based on a custom backend and native frontend.

I wrote a special native management app, and often use that, to implement dashboard functionality, like the kind of thing that the HN mods do.

Yeah, I could, for example, feed the logs into an LLM, and get fancy reports, but it’s a lot easier to simply hit the charts button in the navbar, and view interactive graphs, customized exactly for my workflow.
