How To Build

Linux

GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64/386 go build

ARM (runs kind of slow depending on the specs of the system)

GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 go build

Windows

GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64/386 go build

OSX

GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 go build

Terminal settings

Whatever terminal emulator used should support ANSI escape sequences. If there is an option for 256 color mode, enable it.

Known Issues

• The headers wig out sometimes in selection mode
• Possible race conditions with getting data initialized, only happens when debugging?
• Serializing a numeric string change (like "1234") sometimes appends a decimal at the end, even though go recognizes it as a string when serializing. This is likely a bug at the database driver level, or I am not good at this.
• Mouse down does not work in Windows Terminal, but it does work in Command Prompt.
