small

I was browsing through my GitHub repositories the other day and noticed small, a CLI tool I started working on about two years ago to convert text. I finally polished up the repo and published it for all to see.

It’s really not much, but it gave me a chance to think about the expected behaviors associated with a tool like small. In particular, support for being piped ($ command | small) is a critical bit of playing nice with other UNIX-y tools.

Anyways, it was fun getting it out there.

$ small -h
USAGE
  small [FLAGS] [TEXT...]
  command | small [FLAGS]

FLAGS
  -h         print this help message
  -l         list transform types
  -t=TYPE    specify transform type

$ small "here's some text!"
ʜᴇʀᴇ'ꜱ ꜱᴏᴍᴇ ᴛᴇxᴛ!
