Description
pooml is a logs and metrics server that runs on peanuts: one small binary, happy on the cheapest VPS. Point your services at it, and five minutes after install you have logs, metrics, dashboards, and alerts on your phone. You query it all in plain SQL, the language you and your AI assistant already know. Your data stays in three SQLite files you can copy or open with any SQLite tool. Open source (AGPL).

Could you build this?
Yes A single-binary Go or Rust daemon receiving JSON logs over HTTP, writing to an embedded SQLite database, and serving a basic web UI is well within vibe-coding scope.
