Terminal pager utilities

This cluster consists of command-line pagers for browsing long text output, similar to less and more, with features like paging, scrolling, and search. The dated history shows an initial pair of entries in March 2012, a long gap until a single entry in May 2020, then sporadic singles in 2022, 2025, and 2026. Traction leaders based on activity signal are ovcs-bin, lore, and most-snapshot, each with 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 9 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
