I mean if anyone wants to take over feel free in a fork and I'll archive my repo.

I've seen a rust database tui that looks nuts. Was developed around the same time I made mine.

But if people still like benefits of Go then yeah honestly a rewrite from scratch might be better. Its not that hard just takes a while - query entire DB into data structure and then write serialization routines. The UI portion is just bubbletea and gum.

How right you are lol.

I'm the author. I do embedded C and other stuff heavily now that doesn't use SQLite in any way. Was able to write the thing in the first place because we used SQLite everywhere so it made my job easier.

I'm way better at Golang now too so I would really like to do a better job with the project but yeah, no bandwidth.

idk the article also mentions they've been working on it for 20 years I wouldn't be surprised if they just got to a point that was good enough and then didn't want to mess with things

real tragedy is that they didn't use cutting edge web7.0 tech for their front end smh

Building off of this to talk about functional harmony (I recommend a book called modeology)

Look up roman numeral notation for this next bit.

A V-I is called a perfect cadence in the major scale, and pretty much any other mode in which those chords naturally occur. The most important tones are the major 7th, which is one semitone away from the root and has a strong desire to resolve up, and the perfect 5th, which is a very stable sound that wants to fall up a fourth or down a fifth to the root. As such, the third can be major, minor, omitted, or replaced and the function of the chord remains pretty much unchanged. This is called modal interchange, since we are borrowing from a different mode for the root, in this case any mode other than Ionian (major). Mode changes the strong and weak cadences, however, so be mindful your alteration doesn't make a progression fall apart.

My favorite is ii7, iio7, and Imaj7. Another topic thats fun is tritone substitution, but that would make this a borderline blog post.

o in this context is a diminished chord, which also means that 7 is double flat (bb) because theory.

It can get crazier, there's tons of YouTube videos that explain it better. But

Learning music is more like a language than a discipline in my experience. You can do it the engineers way, but if you follow the way babies learn speech then it becomes a lot more gratifying and things become more intuitive. Victor Wooten had a ted talk on the subject.

Learn by mimicking, then learn structure after you've already had fun just making some noise.
