Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support beyond JavaScript

   Primary integration is with Node.js applications, making it less accessible for developers working in other languages.

2. 02

   Performance overhead when handling large outputs

   Processing and rendering clickable links can slow down the terminal output especially with large datasets or frequent updates.

3. 03

   Complex setup for non-standard terminals

   The tool may not work seamlessly on custom or less common terminal emulators, requiring additional configuration steps.

What it does well

• Clickable links in terminal output

• Cross-platform support (works on Windows, macOS, and Linux)

• Simple integration with Node.js applications
