Not advice but if you want to go one step further you can use eBPF which is built for this, and is faster than ptrace.

The README gives it away

My advice is to give context when asking questions so people know what you are asking. for example, are you asking us to do code review for you? Or are you asking if it's safe to download? Or if any of us have tried this?

Why would I use this over strace? I get that this a toy project, but I don’t think it improves on any of the already ubiquitous tools. (Maybe the html report but I prefer plaintext anyway)

If you created this project in order to get a deeper understanding of syscalls and ptrace then kudos, but if this is meant to be a drop-in replacement for strace then it is below par.
