dbcom

dbcom

Database Commander with oldschool ncurses-like UI. In memories of NC and clones :)

I planned features and UI of this app several years ago but each time can't find motivations to start it. Hackathon give me such motivation. Well after starting I found what this project requires significantly more time than couple of days during the hackathon. But I happy for spent time because work really has started. I will continue development in my repo http://github.com/grafov/dbcom

Happy hacking to all Gophergala participants! :)

Notes about development

In case you want code some apps with text based UI in Go I recommend you excellent library: https://github.com/nsf/termbox-go

But app like dbcom requires a bit more for easy working with text forms and widgets. There are couple of libs based on termbox offer such frameworks:

• termui is a terminal dashboard.
• gocui is a minimalist Go library aimed at creating console user interfaces.

I used gocui with some patches but finally decide to rewrite package for satisfy needs of dbcom. This work in progress.
