A simple website for visualizing stuff logged from Vim.

I have a really hacky Vim script that reacts to BufEnter, BufLeave, VimEnter, and VimLeave events, and logs them to /tmp/vimlog.log.

If you wanted to give my Vim script a whirl, simply put eventlog.vim into the ~/.vim/plugin/ directory. It should "just work" the next time you start up Vim.

The eventlog.vim script logs lines that look like the following:

1368573545   Tue 14 May 2013 04:19:05 PM PDT  BufEnter    app.js

The first element is the UNIX timestamp in seconds. Next is the human-readable timestamp, the event name, and the associated filename. You could modify it to log in a more machine-friendly way, like JSON or CSV, but this is what it does for now. The website that this repo describes uses a regular expression to pull the appropriate data elements from each line.
