In my day to day professional life I am always tailing log files but have always been disappointed with the utilities on offer. The current crop of free ones all look like they were written in the 1990s, are very ugly and have limited functionality.

So I have decided to rectify this by creating a more modern version. The mission statement is:

It has to be fast, intuitive, functionally rich and the code has to be 100% reactive.

After several months of sacrificing my free time, Tail Blazer is finally begining to have a polished feel to it:

And I believe now that it is begining to look good.

Very large files and fast scrolling

Tail Blazer can easily handle a file of any size. The largest file I have tested was 47 Gb which was the maximum file size I could create before my disk would become full.

I have used more projects than these but these are the ones which I feel to be indispensable for any desk top project.
