This is a high-performance fuzzy finder and general-purpose interactive filter, rewritten in Go to replace a previous Ruby implementation. It provides a modern terminal user interface with advanced rendering, mouse support, and ANSI escape sequence parsing. The system includes shell integration for Bash, Zsh, Fish, and Nushell, along with a Vim plugin and tmux helper scripts for seamless workflow integration. It also features optimized fuzzy matching algorithms and security hardening via OpenBSD pledge.

The project underwent a comprehensive rewrite in Go, establishing modern build and release infrastructure while introducing advanced fuzzy matching and ANSI parsing features. This period also expanded the tooling ecosystem with improved shell integrations, tmux scripts, and documentation, alongside significant refactoring of the Vim plugin and utility layers.
