The CLI use case

andrewhowdencom commented 4 years ago

--foo
--no-foo

--foo=true

Should consume the standard CLI semantics. That means being pipeable, stdin/out/err.

Also, bonus points for outputting in a variety of formats (starting with text & json)

server:

# Get people to _opt out_ of TLS rather than opt in. Warn when they're running "insecurely", with a problem code.

--no-mutual-tls
--no-tls

Help should contain examples of a command; perhaps 3 different ones for different purposes.

ffmpg -f -h -g

If possible, get them from analytics — like the most common commands or so.
