## What it is
A Go library for rendering progress bars in the terminal, with configurable templates, refresh rates, byte formatting, and a proxy reader for wrapping io operations. It supports multiple preset styles and custom text/template-based rendering.

## Use cases
- show a progress bar for long-running go cli tasks
- track file copy or download progress in terminal
- display progress for batch processing loops in go
- wrap an io.Reader to report progress while copying data
- render custom terminal progress bars with templates

## When to choose
- you are writing a Go CLI or script that needs terminal progress feedback
- you want a lightweight, well-established progress bar library with io.Reader integration
- you need customizable bar templates and byte/speed formatting

## When to avoid
- you need progress bars in a GUI or web application
- your project is not written in Go
- you need rich TUI dashboards rather than a single progress bar

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: cli, developer-tools, terminal-ui
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: go, cli, cross-platform
