       | build?

         | For what it's worth, the only telemetry right now is occasional
         | polling for new versions (which are not automatically
         | installed) and you can turn this off with a config setting.
         | Also documented in the README.

       | sometime as well.

       | Hi there, I'm the tech lead for this project.
       | 
       | In the course of working on another project, the team and I were
       | comparing notes with friends our various multi-process dev
       | environment setups. Everything from a bunch of terminal tabs
       | open, to typical Procfile runners, to advanced tmux usage, to
       | systemd, and supervisord, and more.
       | 
       | There are a handful of process supervisors specifically targeting
       | dev out there, but none that met our requirements.
       | 
       | Exo is our first step towards building a robust solution to this
       | problem. Once we started hacking, the ideas started flowing, but
       | we had to draw a cutline somewhere, so this MVP is just a
       | Foreman-style Procfile runner. Next-up is Docker Compose
       | compatibility, but there is so much more beyond that planned too.
       | 
       | If you give it a try and have thoughts, please file an issue or
       | open a discussion at https://github.com/deref/exo - or email me
       | at brandon@deref.io
       | 
       | If you like it, please give us a star :)
       | 
       | Cheers, Brandon
