User reviews

I tried viewing logs in CircleCI. I was able to get it to convert the ANSI codes to HTML, but un-rendered HTML is probably worse to read.

As of 2024's Chrome 124, this did not modify the displayed plaintext file for me at all, nor do anything else like open a new window with the rendered colors. It does _sound_ like it would be doing what I want, but it has done nothing for me.
