About goaccess
GoAccess is an open source, real time web log analyzer and interactive viewer written in C and released under the MIT license. It parses web server logs and renders the results either in a terminal on nix systems or through a browser, updating every panel and metric every 200 milliseconds in the terminal output and every second in the HTML output. The project has been developed for roughly thirteen years and lives in the nix command line ecosystem, with a cluster of topics around analytics, Apache, Caddy, dashboards, and command line tooling.

About Wraps
Wraps is a code first email platform that deploys its infrastructure into your own AWS account. It lives in the AWS and TypeScript ecosystem, and it ships as a command line tool, a set of SDKs, and an agent facing MCP server. The core idea is that sending email does not require handing your data or your billing to a third party: one CLI command provisions the resources, and the application talks to them through a typed client. SMS through AWS End User Messaging, and CDN delivery over S3 and CloudFront, follow the same pattern.
