What the publisher says
From the Where Them Logs repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
wherethemlogs.app
A searchable index of application log file locations across Windows, macOS and Linux - every path qualified by installer type and architecture, printed exactly as the machine writes it.
Built for the people who need the path mid-incident: IT and endpoint administrators, application packagers, and anyone else who has lost twenty minutes to a forum thread of unknown vintage.

What's here
Keyboard: / focuses the search field from anywhere, arrows walk the type-ahead, Enter commits to the full results, Shift+Enter copies the highlighted result's first path.
The catalogue
Vendor > App > LogPath. One vendor has many apps; one app has many log paths, embedded on the app document. Every vendor carries an icon and every app may override it - App.iconUrl: null means inherit the vendor's, resolved on read.
Currently seed data: 24 vendors, 33 apps, 86 log paths in scripts/seed-data.json, all real and verifiable, labelled as a demonstration set in the footer and on the privacy page.
npm run seed -- --endpoint https://<account>.documents.azure.com:443/Paths are stored byte for byte - %LOCALAPPDATA%, ~/Library/Logs, $XDGSTATEHOME are never expanded, because the machine being fixed is not this one.

Before this goes live
- [ ] Register the Entra ID app, add the admin app role, and set the AUTHCLIENTID / AUTHTENANTID repository variables. Until then /admin has nowhere to send you. docs/DEPLOYMENT.md § 7.
- [x] Choose the analytics provider - Google Analytics 4, loaded only after Accept (components/Consent.tsx).
- [ ] Replace the seed catalogue with the real index - /admin/import takes the research JSON.
- [x] Build the admin UI on top of the CRUD API.
- [x] Make the repo public - requests and corrections are issues here, from the forms in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/.
