    What use cases does fx fulfill that other tools like jq or your editor don’t?

      I haven’t tried fx yet (but I will soon enough!) but my main gripe with jq is that its not very intuitive or userfriendly to pass arguments to get what I want out of it. fx seems to offer an interactive (TUI) way to interact with its content, wich might be better suited for my usercase where I just want to consume the logs with my eyes. jq is better as a pipe between two commands to process the json data.
