Any particular reason for that? Are you using specific Linux APIs?
Just to clarify, this looks like a super helpful utility, something that I would personally use. The issue is that I noticed the installation instructions include a link to a prebuilt binary hosted on your website. Without providing access to the source code, you're asking users to trust executing an unknown binary on their system.
I no longer use GitHub for original projects. Source for fftool isn't public yet but I understand the concern — running an unaudited binary is a real ask. My site leans toward educational, so that people consider building the tool from the instructions in the article. I may host the source on the site as a zip or tarball at some point so people can more easily build it.
As for Linux API - TIOCGWINSZ via syscall.IOCTL to get terminal dimensions.
Why Linux and Go - Linux is the only OS I use. I like Go because it produces a single static binary with no runtime dependencies. Thanks for your interest.
