## Why the name 'foot'?
I'm bad at names. Most of my projects usually start out as _foo
something_ (for example, [yambar](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/yambar)
was _f00bar_ for a while).
So why _foot_?
foo terminal -> footerm -> foot
Pretty bad, I know.
As a side note, if you pronounce the _foo_ part of _foot_ the same way
you pronounce _foobar_, then _foot_ sounds a lot like the Swedish word
_fot_, which incidentally means (you guessed it) _foot_.
