horizontal-rule

The hr project displays a horizontal rule in a terminal, with optional notes such as the current time. It is useful for marking the position so that you can easily find it again. When I first created the utility, I did not expose a (Haskell) library. I later refactored the project to expose a library, but I did not publish it to Hackage because a package named hR already exists. Today, I renamed the Haskell package to horizontal-rule, and I plan on publishing it to Hackage and Stackage after the next release.

I am currently updating the scripts and configuration used to manage my open-source software projects, and I plan to create an hr release once this is done. There may be some changes or additions to common Makefile commands that I would like to include in the release.

On a related note, I have not published utility projects to Hackage or Stackage but am now considering doing so. Many such projects are published there, allowing people to easily install them using cabal install or stack install, without having to first clone the repository.
