It's GNU Readline[0] or similar. It's all over the place, on Linux at least. Being GNU it defaults to emacs, but the vi support is also excellent. The first thing I type in any foreign bash is 'set -o vi'.

[0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Readline


Yes it's GNU readline, but note that the very Wikipedia link you gave explains that it's GNU readline that re-used those shortcuts from Emacs, not the other way round.

So it's not wrong to call these "Emacs" shortcuts.


Well, it is called `set -o emacs` in all shells of note (except POSIX; even pdksh).

I generally agree with you about UIs (if by shit you mean they've thrown away a ton of utility), but I don't think his video was bs, maybe just moved too far from it's original context.


For some reason your reply immediately caused me to imagine Ross Geller shouting into the phone, "Operator", like the, "Pivot" scene from friends.

DB engine appears to be sqlite. It's in the tags on the main page and there's a file full of sql to create what looks like a sample db in the data/ dir.


Sqlite is fine, could we call this product somehow differently? I don't feel it's database, it's database frontend or smth.


You are right, it's not a database, so I call it undb :P


It seems more along the lines of a "headless CMS", which is basically just extensible CRUD often with API endpoints; compare it to Strapi. This one looks finished enough to play around with at least.


Would prefer mainline DB engine like Postgres or MySQL


Check baserow.io then ;)


why?


Choosing to name variables with a single character has nothing to do with syntax. At most it could be considered idiomatic, but there's no reason to slavishly follow every idiomatic choice, just as there isn't in natural language.


I appreciate your write-up, it was well done. How long did you spend on this? I'd be most interested to know how long, not counting writing the blog post.


they started the project on the 13th per the git commits. so on the magnitude of two weeks it seems.


Ah, good eye, ty.
