Hi HN,

A little while back, I wrote about surviving the hug of death (a.k.a. the Slashdot effect), and many folks asked about the web request visualizer I built to understand what was happening under the hood. So here it is!

It's still a work in progress, but I’d love to get some feedback and see if there's broader interest before I make another pot of coffee.

Note: Right now, it reads logs sequentially from start to finish. More interactivity and features are on the way.

Would love to hear what you think!
