Description

Hi! I built a gem that integrates fzf as a fuzzy history search for IRB: irb-fzf-history

It lets users browse and search their IRB history interactively using fzf, which can be a nice productivity boost for heavy IRB users.

I wanted to share it here in case it's useful to the community, and to ask: would it make sense to mention it somewhere (e.g., in the README under a "Related Projects" or "Extensions" section)? I'm happy to open a PR if that's welcome.

Thanks for maintaining IRB — it's a great tool!
