Two years ago I created a CLI tool called pgcli (http://pgcli.com http://pgcli.com). A postgres client with auto-completion. It became ridiculously successful. I got a few requests to support mysql. So I launched a kickstarter to write mycli (http://mycli.net http://mycli.net). This also became quite successful.
There is a thriving community of core devs and a ton of users. I'm happy with both creations and made a lot of online friends.
These projects also led me to create a standalone python library for doing fuzzy matching. I'm quite proud of this one since the resulting code ended up being ridiculously small but produced really good results. https://github.com/amjith/fuzzyfinder/ https://github.com/amjith/fuzzyfinder/
- nkantar 10y ago<3 I can't remember who turned me onto pgcli, but I've been telling everyone I can about it for a long time now. It's wonderful. Thank you!
- amjith 10y agoThank you for spreading the love. :) The initial surge of users came from HN when I originally posted it at launch, but since then most of the users were through word of mouth.
