betternom is a Python utility designed to enhance the output of the norminette by adding colorization to its output, making it easier to distinguish between various types of messages such as errors and successful checks. It utilizes colorama for terminal color output and provides additional functionality such as minimizing output and showing errors only.

• Colorized Output: Makes it easier to read norminette outputs by color-coding messages.
• Minimize Output: Option to show a minimized version of the output for a quicker overview.
• Error Only Mode: Can be configured to show only errors, omitting the OK messages for cleaner output.
• Summary View: Provides a summary of the norminette run, including counts of files checked, errors found, etc.
