This project README is not particularly useful:

It doesn't explain what the project does (a file format for what? Name dropping other things I haven't heard of isn't useful)

There are no examples. It links to a flatbuffer schema which is at least well commented, but is full of deep implementation details.

The point is that within 2-3 minutes I'm not convinced why I care and still don't know enough about what this is to even think back to if if I encounter a scenario in the future where it would be useful.

> designed with efficiency, interoperability, and extensibility in mind. It provides a data organization that rectifies the layout shortcomings of the last-generation formats like Parquet,

This is all marketing speak that says nothing.

> maintaining good interoperability and extensibility (a.k.a future-proof) via embedded Wasm decoders What does this even mean? Providing a decoder is no guarantee of futureproofness.
