Grep with colours written in Go

In plain words

Grep with colours is a command-line search tool written in Go that adds color highlighting to grep results. Designed for developers and system administrators who work in terminals, it makes it easier to spot matching patterns in text files and command output. The tool processes search queries the same way as standard grep but presents results with color-coded matches for improved readability.

  Much improved new version. Search for words similar to the query. For example, "death" will find "death", "dying", "dead", "killing"... Incredibly useful for exploring large text datasets where exact matches are too restrictive.

  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…
