Awesome. You really nailed it. In my experience the output for spreadsheets turns out to be key so good job highlighting that (https://github.com/birchb1024/frangipanni#output-for-spreads...).

One suggestion: it may help to generalize the newline as the node separator. You may already be doing this (my go is rusty) but instead of https://github.com/birchb1024/frangipanni/blob/7543b4ee15ae7... be able to override the "newline" as the node separator, like you've done with the "spacer" param.

What do you do when the same line is encountered?

OK good idea, I was coming round to that myself. https://github.com/birchb1024/frangipanni/issues/5

really cool! But I think you should have called it "birch"! :)

Any way you could add build instructions to the README?

I also wanted to vote for "birch". Apparently "frangipanni" is a nice flower, but it reminds me of an unpleasant (imho) German dessert ("frangipane").
