Hello!

I have written the package [hatty.el](https://github.com/ErikPrantare/hatty.el) for creating avy-like interfaces, where the indicators are always visible. This removes the additional roundtrip of bringing up an interface, parsing it, and then picking your target. I created it to make voice control easier for me, but the package is input agnostic. I threw together a short demo on this: [https://youtu.be/iKWEEAKMZq0](https://youtu.be/iKWEEAKMZq0)
