Fantasy Grounds Chat Log Viewer

A read-only viewer for the chatlog.html file that Fantasy Grounds writes for a campaign. It parses the chat/dice log and presents it in a helpful, navigable way — searching, filtering by speaker, and grouping by session. It never edits the underlying file; it is a pure viewer.

This project ships two independent implementations of the same tool:

Version	Location	Description
Python	chatlog-viewer/python/	The original implementation, built with Python and tkinter (fg_chatlog_viewer.py).
Go	chatlog-viewer/go/	A Go + Bubble Tea terminal (TUI) port. Its parser is a 1:1 port of the Python heuristics — the test suite asserts the Go parser produces byte-for-byte identical entries to the Python one.

Why chatlog.html and not db.xml?

A campaign's db.xml stores character sheets, NPCs, items, notes, etc., but Fantasy Grounds does not save the chat/dice log into it. The chat history lives in chatlog.html, which grows every session — that is the file this tool reads.

Layout

chatlog-viewer/
├── python/        Python/tkinter implementation + helper scripts
└── go/            Go/Bubble Tea TUI implementation (parser, ui, cmd)

See each implementation's README for build/run instructions and controls.

First version

Initial release: two working viewers (Python GUI and Go TUI), the Go parser verified for parity against the Python heuristics, session grouping, speaker and message-type filters, search, and original FG colors preserved.
