### What we like

Bundles a set of common tools: encoding, hashing, UUID, lorem, string processing, json utilities, QR code generator, color conversion. Single (Rust) binary. Works with stdin/out. Cross platform and has a macOS homebrew package.

### Tradeoffs

Would be useful to be able to read from files, even if you can redirect commands in from the shell.
