Great work!

From the README:

> is designed to be easily extensible

Can you elaborate a little on that?



Television is designed with a "framework-like" approach in mind. Here’s what makes it easy to extend (in a nutshell):

- Custom Cable Channels: You’re not limited to the built-in channels. You can create your own "cable channels"—essentially custom data sources—by tweaking a simple config file. As the project grows, the vision is for users to contribute their own channel recipes to the wiki, making it easy for others to pick and choose what suits their needs.

- Smart Shell Integration: Television integrates seamlessly with your shell, offering features like smart autocomplete and interactive piping of results. It’s also fully customizable, so you can tweak the smart autocomplete behavior or other features to match your workflow.

- Coming Soon: User-definable custom actions within cable channel recipes for an even more streamlined and tailored experience.

This probably doesn’t answer everything, but I’d be happy to dive into more details about any of the points above! :-)
