Few

When you're trying to build an application on your terminal, how would you see the README file? less is common. But less uses a whole screen. These days most terminal emulator softwares support transparency. You can see other softwares under the terminal. If you can open the README file under the terminal beautifully, it must be useful. That's the reason why few was created.

The principles of few

• Does not require any non-standard libraries
• Works every Ruby from 1.8.6 to 1.9.2
  • Which means you have to avoid Enumerators and to care about Encodings
• (spec/few is OK of working only in 1.8.7+)

Future plan

• markdown
• vim syntax highlight
• filetype detection and syntax file
