SQLito
- Problem
- Working with SQLite from the terminal usually means a heavyweight GUI or a bare REPL, with no history, autocomplete or schema inspection.
- Decision
- I built a TUI client with Ink and Clean Architecture where SQL is the protagonist and the chrome (table, prompt, palette) only keeps you in flow.
- Challenge
- Fitting synchronous execution, persistent history, viewport and alternate screen into a cold start under 1500 ms.
- Result
- Published on npm as @pablo-v/sqlito v1.2.0, with history, favourites, CSV export, command palette and themes.
