How does this relate to Pick? https://robots.thoughtbot.com/announcing-pick

Wow, totally missed that launch...

I think my app is much smaller in scope! Only a file finder..

Some points I noticed: Works on Windows "out-of-the-box", conceptually simpler, highlights matched chars..

I thought about making it into a framework as well - lets see how much I use it.

Looks similar to fzf[1], which is also written in Go.
