Description

Describe the Feature You Want

Some servers write their logs in json so that they're machine-readable. When viewing them in Tilt, it'd be nice to be able to massage the output a bit to make them more human-readable.

Current Behavior

Tilt just logs the raw output (json) logged by the server.

Why Do You Want This?

Formatted logs are easier to read than JSON logs.

Research direction
