Fair Next

A simple command line tool that displays a list. When a list item is selected, it's moved to the bottom. The list is persisted in a names.txt file next to the executable.

Motivation: I attend online meetings (e.g. daily standup) where I have to select the next speaker. I use this tool for a fair selection of the next speaker.

You can either download the executable manually or use Cargo to install this tool.
