Thanks for sharing this! About a dozen years ago I built a little app using PHP, jQuery, and SQLite that runs in my
web browser to track my daily expenses. In recent years I spend less and less time in a desktop environment,
working more often in the Linux console. I've wanted to migrate my app but didn't want to figure out how to use
ncurses and\or dialog plus possibly PHP or nodeJS or some other scripting language to put all the pieces together.
I have long had fzf installed on all my machines but had never really learned to use it, it was just a quirky little
file finder and Ranger works so much better for me (largely because I took the time to learn to use it).
Your post about using fzf to build a TUI was just what I needed. The very next day I built a bash + fzf + SQLite
version of the app that works great on the various machines I've got laying around here. SyncThing keeps the
database synced between them all and I have my data everywhere I need it -- including that I can still use the
original web-based version.
