I like the tool a lot. I think people are still generally a bit confused about what it is, and the beginning of the man page is quite mechanistic, describing the implementation and leaving it up to the reader to interpret why that is useful.

The reasons I like it are that it's "an interactive streaming text viewer", along the lines of a readonly text editor designed for presenting inhuman amounts of data in a way that's useful for us humans. Think of the times you want to use your favorite text editor to interactively search and inspect streaming data, but can't because the stream is continuous.

- doesn't stream characters to the screen so fast that humans can't read it

- allows for interactively searching the stream and showing context

- operates on a large ring buffer, so all of this can be done without ever attempting to read a fixed subset or the entire stream

It reminds me of what Casey Muratori did for refterm: https://youtu.be/hNZF81VYfQo
