The code base seems like a good reference as a small Python project.
My fav option in this class of apps: https://lnav.org/ It lets you use journalctl with pipes as requested here: https://github.com/Textualize/toolong/issues/4

- System tool niche that I find interesting so it's nice to see a fairly complete and yet relatively small project
- Textual seems to be their largest dependency, but other than that the project seems self-contained and relies on the standard library
- With some exceptions, the majority of methods are short and easy to parse
- Typing support :)
But after a second glance it looks very well written compared to many other python projects, which sometimes read like a 5000 line bash script.
And I can't argue against your arguments, especially using "minimal" dependencies and using typing.
Typing often helps for autocompletion and understanding what a variable/function "means", which makes it [1] easier to start hacking on it.
[0] not necessarily bad, just wasn't what I would expect to be a small reference project
[1] not always, sometimes types can be too verbose and start messing with your brain ;)
