The reason for creating it

First of all, to test the GUI framework created by me, giu, for a real project.

It turns out giu is really useful for this kind of application. It just costs me 6 hours to build it from ground.

And I have this idea for years, to create a text process pipeline, to ease my daily text processing pain.

Hope it could be useful to you as well. :)
