I like the concept a lot, especially the focus on outputting data in an organised way.
What I feel could be improved is the presentation of the tabular data. Some ideas below:
- The screenshots show two horizontal lines consisting of dashes, one at the start of the table, one at the end. To me they seem redundant and could be replaced with spaces (whitespace). I did a quick check and PostgreSQL's psql tables also don't have lines like this.
- How about using Unicode lines instead of dashes and plus sign in the header? This way there would be fewer gaps there. I'm not sure though how this would affect compatibility.
- mkl 7y agoYes, I think Unicode lines would be much nicer. "+", "-", and "|" are used for many other purposes.
- nwah1 7y agoIdeally, presentation of the data would be handled by themes. Hopefully they build theming support.
- kzrdude 7y agoI'd immediately say it would be nice with configuration that could opt-out of the relative and fuzzy dates. Relative like "today" would be fine, if it includes the exact time today too.
- tux1968 7y agoYes, this is needed for sure. Some output didn't appear on my terminal because it is hard coded to appear as black. The author must have a light colored terminal that differs from mine.
