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.
$ few README
$ cat README | few
$ few -v
0.0.1
$ few --selfupdate
0.0.2
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
- ssh over few
