Say Goodbye to Ugly Hash Dumps: typed_print Turns Them into Neat Tables
A new Ruby gem formats hashes as aligned tables — no more squinting at messy output or wrestling with formatting.
If you've ever typed puts some_hash in the console and got back a wall of text that makes your eyes hurt faster than a failed Friday deployment — we've got good news.
Developer eayurt created typed_print, a gem that takes your hashes and turns them into clean, aligned tables. Zero dependencies, full Markdown support, and optional colors. All you need is gem install typed_print, and you can forget what inspect looks like in the Stone Age of debugging.
What's under the hood?
- Zero dependencies — doesn't drag in half the internet like some popular gems.
- Markdown compatibility — paste the output directly into an issue or README.
- Colors — for those who want their debugging to be aesthetically pleasing.
Honestly, this is one of those utilities that solves a problem you didn't know you had until you see the solution. Like discovering your Wi-Fi has been running at 2.4 GHz your whole life — suddenly, everything makes sense.
METABYTE studio comment: We've squinted at enough logs to feel this developer's pain. If you want your code to be not just functional but beautiful — we're your crew. We know a thing or two about data aesthetics.
