What it does

Fltrdr , or flat-reader , is an interactive text reader for the terminal. It is flat in the sense that the reader is word-based. It creates a horizontal stream of words by ignoring all newline characters and removing sequential whitespace. Its purpose is to facilitate reading, scanning, and searching text. The program has a play mode that moves the reader forward one word at a time, along with a configurable words per minute (WPM) setting. It can be used to read text from either a file or stdin. View the usage and help output with the --help or -h flag. The help output contains the documentation for the key bindings and commands for customization. This program uses raw terminal control…from octobanana.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
