A custom pager that outputs lines with a delay, allowing control over pacing.
Introduction
Slomore is a pager (like more
, or less
) that slows down screen output.
This is useful when making tutorials where command-line tools spew lots of output that scrolls by too fast. If you're capturing the output for use in a video (or gif) without slomo, your video recorder may 'miss' frames, making the output appear 'jumpy'.
Usage
Pipe output to slomore.
find /bin | slomore
Change output speed.
export SLOMORE_LINES_PER_SECOND=20
find /bin | slomore
Slower...
export SLOMORE_SECONDS_PER_LINE=2
find /bin | slomore
