Score: 5.3/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 6, Documentation: 6, Utility: 5)

Fli is a tiny (18KB on RPi), no_std Rust CLI tool that lists directory contents using emojis instead of colors for better readability on SSH terminals. It demonstrates that coreutils-like tools can be built smaller and faster than ls, with unsafe libc calls for minimal bloat.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, system administrators
