@scy what we might just need is some sort of centralized package registry for Unix/Bash/shell languages.

PS: shpkg.club is up for the taking 😄

@scy Have you ever tried to consider vacation on Java? Possibly with a workshop or two there? Yes.

@scy what, no link? 😁

@grvsmth Consider it a demonstration ;)

@scy I'll take your word for it! And I'm pretty satisfied with "less" for what I need...

@scy For those searching: https://www.jedsoft.org/most/

Took me ~15s to find:

• Google "most less alternative tool source" (search prompts I tried: "most source", "most tool source")
• Second hit "Alternatives to popular CLI tools: less"
• Scroll down, link to "most"
• Page has link to above mentioned site.

("bat tool" -> first result: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat)

Besides that: YES!

@scy Go. The board game at least has the excuse of being thousands years old and the name coming from a different language.

@scy tried it. 2 minutes. But just because I knew what I was searching for AND I decided to not waste further time and go to arch PKG search instead of a web search engine.

@iameru Yeah that's the way more clever approach.

Especially because I was basically looking for the man page, and turns out they don't have that on their website anyway!

I ended up using pkg install most on Termux.

@scy /e/ is one of the worst offenders here. I challenge you to find a search query where relevant information about the project is ranked high on the first result page of any searchengine.

@scy I also realized this with band names. Imagine you have a project that you love, you give everything to it and then end up giving it a name like "<something> <something> ocean" and expect it to magically shine above all of the other band names. Really don't know what is the idea behind this.
