Atuin has encrypted sync, that'll be a big difference.
I've used mcfly for years and I appreciate the hard work cantino has put into it, but mcfly is currently looking for a maintainer while the maintainer of Atuin has recently committed to doing so full time (https://ellie.wtf/posts/i-quit-my-job-to-work-full-time-on-my-open-source-project https://ellie.wtf/posts/i-quit-my-job-to-work-full-time-on-m...). That may make a difference to some people considering which one to pick.
Both are implemented in Rust and use SQLite as storage, so both should be equally performant in terms of startup latency and storage capacity.
The ctrl+R UI of each is different but that comes down to personal taste.
- munro 3y agoI just tried to use atuin... I have to login, but I don't want to :( I tried to run a search locally... but I have to run a PostgreSQL server??? Why isn't it just allowing embedded DB like mcfly? I know this isn't the place for support, but I give up trying to get it to work :(
- ellieh 3y agoYou don’t have to! Only if you want to sync your history. For pure offline usage that’s not required I’ll clarify in the docs
- internetter 3y ago> I just tried to use atuin... I have to login, but I don't want to It didn't ask me to login... > I tried to run a search locally... but I have to run a PostgreSQL server PostgreSQL is for the server? You don't need a server. It uses sqlite, verifiable by running $ sqlite3 ~/.local/share/atuin/history.db $ SELECT * FROM history LIMIT 10; Did you actually try it? I don't know where you got all this from.
