Being an Azure user for a while, I felt the pain with diagnostics. It is obvious from StackOverflow questions too. Diagnostics is a mess and you don't have a really easy, hands-on way to log something and read it right away. Plus, I really wanted to make something useful for developers, give it back basically.

First, I wrote a nuget library and pushed it out. What I found is, there are barely people who care about such library/service and its possible value to their services/applications. I thought an npm module could make a difference, but still no luck. I started to worry about the size of my target people and market. Is Azure market that small or the community still hasn't evolved that much?

    Who is using it?

    Why?

    How?

    What do they like?

    What don't they like?

    What do they wish it had?

    The Field of Dreams line is not "if you build it, they will come." It's "he will come." If you're lucky, there is one customer who loves your product. Go have a catch with that one. Eventually, there might be a full nine.

    ...also, this might make a good "Show HN".

    Good luck.
