It's been interesting watching you build this on Twitter.

What prompted you to invest your time in this project vs the others that you were probably considering?

Thanks! I was invested in improving the user experience of strace. Strace is incredibly useful for debugging but I wouldn't consider it particularly "accessible". Understanding the output is quite a challenge at first. My goal was to remove this burden and therefore make strace accessible to a broader audience. I probably should also mention that Julia Evan's talks also had quite an impact on me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfD9IMZ9rKY :)
