  Curious how the "NextTrace has been used for [number] times" banner works. Does it fire off a request to their site everytime it's used? (and if so, is it an over reaction to personally find that a little strange for a small-ish cli tool?)

  I see nothing at all when I go to the page at https://www.nxtrace.org/

  Am I missing something?

  JavaScript required just to read a page describing a CLI tool? I'll pass.

  Site not loading at all, `https://www.nxtrace.org/static/js/main.4678cf79.js net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS` in DevTools console.

  This seems to be a Chrome app, since I can't get it to work on Firefox
