I built and published GoScanLine, a lightweight Go package that simplifies taking multi-word input from the command line. In raw Go, 'fmt.Scanln' stops at the first space, forcing developers to write extra boilerplate with 'bufio.Reader'. GoScanLine abstracts this into a simple, reusable function for full-line input. The package is live on pkg.go.dev and available for developers worldwide, demonstrating my ability to identify developer pain points and ship clean, reusable open-source tools.

Go Developer | Open-Source Maintainer

Reads a full line of input from stdin (keeps spaces, trims newline)

Works out of the box — no need for extra boilerplate with bufio.Reader

Supports typed destinations (string, bool, int, float, etc.)

Includes cancellable reads for better CLI UX

Handles no-echo secrets (like password input) securely

Sends prompts to stderr so stdout stays clean for piping

Minimal & dependency-free — just import and use

Published on pkg.go.dev with MIT license for easy adoption
