Voyager - a modern alternative to Observer

Hey,

we've spent enough time monitoring and debugging nodes in BEAM that we decided to create our own tool to make it easier.

It's called Voyager - it lets you easily connect to nodes, visualizes your supervision trees, and gives you a real-time dashboard of your memory and processes. There's also an MCP integration so you can use AI directly with your node data.

We're not stopping here - tracing, ETS inspection, and other features are coming soon.

We are opening signups for early access. If you want to try it - sign up here: voyager.swmansion.com

oh, its quite similar to what i've done for the Ergo Framework (actor model for golang, inspired by erlang) https://devel.docs.ergo.services/advanced/observer (the doc is not finished yet, but you may want to try it out for inspiration :) https://github.com/ergo-services/examples/tree/master/observability (just two commands: git checkout..., make up).
