How amma-dada/linecounter works
LineCounter is a Rust line-counting tool with both a terminal CLI and a Tauri desktop app. Users provide a file, directory, or pasted text; the relevant entry point calls the counting engine, which returns detailed line, word, character, and file statistics. The desktop product also documents an inspector/editor, batch reports, and live paste counting. The excerpts establish CLI and backend calls; UI implementation details and several advertised features are documented only in the README, so those links are marked unverified.
