after about two years of the package existing, tinyglobby has surpassed both globby and fast-glob. it's been an insane journey that wouldn't have been possible without @e18e.dev and help from people like @benmccann.com or @43081j.com. i'm infinitely grateful for what e18e has done to the ecosystem 💙

Congrats! What do tinyglobby, globby, and fast-glob do? The readme in the repo is not very helpful for a newcomer.

they provide a function for pattern matching for filtering files, i.e. globbing src/* matches everything under src. the issue i had with those libraries was that they used too many dependencies so i tried to make something way smaller :^)

I see, thanks for explaining! Consider adding this info to the readme to reach an even wider audience. :) Funnily enough I've been in the business for quite a while but have never heard of the term "globbing", so it's not a keyword I would've thought of if I needed something like this.
