+LumberJack TUI takes in an Apache2 access log file and provides an interactive interface to check your logs.
+
+NOTES:        
+- The TUI will ask for the access.log file location and the GeoLite2-City.mmdb file location on startup. It will then create local .env file with the locations you provided. If you mess up, just change them in the file for now.
+    * I have not tried using the GeoLite2-Country.mmdb file and do not know if it will crash the application...
+
+
+FUTURE CHANGES:
+- Better filtering functionality
+- Ban IP functionality
+- Access Date/Time column
+- Sorting by column (asc/desc)
