Same for me! It turned into a long journey and I am working on a solution that I am very happy about.

Somewhere mid-journey I learned about kaitai struct and lost a bit of steam seeing it was similar. But I think my offering is superior in a more simple template format with less programming required and a nice cli app.

I am yet to announce it publicly, but i been meaning to for so long already.

If you would like to check it out I would be happy!

You can use it to map / view content from a format there is a template for. Alot of common formats is already included and you can extend it using your own templates.

As someone who had a great time with Kaitai, may I suggest that you write an interface so that fq can be used with any format that Kaitai understands (and any that people add in future)
