Not a feature request but merely a note about another similar project, entr. Do you know it? How do you think entr and crow compare to each other? Maybe it's worth mentioning it in the readme as related project.
To be entirely honest I think entr is better in terms of software.
I watched a video on entr a few months ago and really thought it was cool, a few months later when I had a use for it (rerunning go tests on save) I forgot what it was called 😅. After a bit of searching, I decided to build it a similar tool from scratch to solve the same problem. So I would say theres no real benefit to using crow over entr. I guess because crow is written in Go it appeals to gophers since if they want to add features they can easily contribute and since crow is newer I'm more likely to add their changes in.
But yeah, entr is great!
I will add a list of alternatives to the README like reflex and entr so that people can choose for themselves which they want to use.
