- No reflection
- No magic strings
- Just fast, type-safe telemetry

I've got an M1 so it's getting on a bit but it's OK with vscode. It starts to struggle with rider (especially with anything else open, chrome, etc)

It’s lightweight, extendable, and built for terminal / CLI tools (like those using Spectre.Console).

Uses tokens + spans for performance, and currently supports:
C#, JS, TS, Python, SQL, Go, Java.

Next up: theming support + more languages.

If you’re building .NET terminal tools and want nice-looking code output — check it out and let me know what you think

It also enforces the idea that 1 Jira ticket equals 1 PR which also seems bad practice - rather than many small low risk PR's we end up with 1 big one that satisfies the user story

Usb switch for the keyboard, etc and then a monitor that takes both inputs and then switching/toggling between the two. It's a bit clunky but does work.
