What's the usecase? What more it could provide than a monolog based simple local solution? Why people should choose this instead of local/sns/mqtt/aws/elk/elastic-apm solution?

You could use that. With this use case of logmyapp you can view it from anywhere without having to login to aws or wherever you host your app. With that, you can view it in real-time and not have to dig through a bunch of logs to find what you are looking for. Or another use case could be you get a ticket from an end user who is having an error and doesnt know how to get to the console. With logmyapp you can login, go to your project and look for the log at that time to identify what happened. There are a few other use cases but those are some of the top ones where devs have expressed pain points of having to dig through log files or login to various systems to view it, with logmyapp you just login -> go to your project and start combing through logs. For now, its one user per project but we are expanding to allow you to invite people to your projects so others can view the logs as well. We also, have plans to expand error logs where if you receive an error log we email you (this may be a premium feature).
