I freaking love this library! It reminds me of a time that I don't even know happened when computers seemed like a scifi possibility come true. So happy to see it on the front page.
One of the coolest things is not just the ability to pipe cat outputs into it, but that it doubles up as a python library- next time you're making a throw away CLI with print outs and prompts, why not make it insanely jazzy?
I agree, a serious tool should be taking into account the length of the output delay and reducing effects to match the conditions. But you can still do some of it, sometimes.
On the contrary, I am currently scaffolding out the template projects for a new system at $DAYJOB and I'm seriously considering putting it in the CLI tool template.
On the one hand, these tools are going to be used for Serious Business™ but on the other hand... I owe it to 14 year old me. I'll probably add something to allow disabling it with a flag file that can be created with the tool or manually. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
