multiplex is the result of me wanting a tool that allowed me to view output of several processes running in parallel similar to tmux but with the main goal of being view only, being able to view many streams of data in an ergonomic fashion, which tmux doesn't deliver as nicely. I wanted to navigate the content by with the same ease `less` gives when viewing a single data source.

I hope some of you find it useful as well :)

Hey, this is cool! Is there a tl;dr on how it works?

It keeps a terminal emulator for each input stream using pyte (pure python terminal emulator). Then draws everything using ANSI escape codes to put the cursor in different places :)
