Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Reads logs from stdin and pipes them back to stdout formatted and easier to read. Also adds colors. Options to skip log keys, ignore keys that are the same as the previous entry, and truncate values. Binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Tradeoffs

Only formats logs in JSON or logfmt - everything else is ignored. No ARM binaries.
