It's not clear from description if this is predominnantly for server side logging or covers slient logging as well

Proposed Solution

Would be greate to allow for client specific needs, like prod/dev specific logging and etc

Do you have any more specific examples of what you have in mind?

Since all the examples are for server-side logging, I am not even sure if this library allows for client side loggin. Wanted to clarify that first.

Features I am looking for is console.log alternative for client side, which on production would be silent and could be activated programmatically. So if enable logging is true you would see the logs in console and if not then not.

Also ability to collect client logs and send them to server would be be very useful and natural with nuxt integration.

Okay, so I added a sampling system that I had added to the front end and then removed, but that I could put back. Basically, I figured that we usually want to see the front-end logs for debugging the UI or other purposes, but it's possible, fine. The library is available on the client side, and sending the front-end logs to the terminal would clearly be a good addition

the problem is you want to have logs in developement to monitor your app and then before each release you clean them up to not to show logs in production, and then you add them back after release.

This way one can keep logs as long as they are needed and as many as wanted without affecting production, with added feature that when needed one can have logging enabled on demand on prod too with command.

I also like client logs in production, it helps piece together actions they took when they need customer support. Ideally I'd drain both FE/BE logs to Posthog logs
