Keeping the app responsive when piping input on startup

[tabassco]

I already have a functioning app, that can read data from file. To fit the workflow better I'd like to be able to pipe data into the app. Reading from stdin before starting the app stops the call from being interactive.

Changing from:

python app.py foo.log

To:

cat foo.log | grep bar | python app.py

I have tried around a bit and it would still be possible to read directly from dev/tty. Maybe we can adjust the input driver for this case?

Have a look at how Toolong does it https://github.com/Textualize/toolong/blob/main/src/toolong/cli.py
