Yup I remember that was a bit annoying and tricky. I had a partial fix but there were edge cases that threw me off so I opted to just save something like that for whenever I do a full rewrite.
I'm the author. I do embedded C and other stuff heavily now that doesn't use SQLite in any way. Was able to write the thing in the first place because we used SQLite everywhere so it made my job easier.
I'm way better at Golang now too so I would really like to do a better job with the project but yeah, no bandwidth.
I mean if anyone wants to take over feel free in a fork and I'll archive my repo.
I've seen a rust database tui that looks nuts. Was developed around the same time I made mine.
But if people still like benefits of Go then yeah honestly a rewrite from scratch might be better. Its not that hard just takes a while - query entire DB into data structure and then write serialization routines. The UI portion is just bubbletea and gum.
It doesn't have my favorite feature from mine which is "yo lemme just quick update this one field without writing SQL" I don't think but still pretty and powerful

idk the article also mentions they've been working on it for 20 years I wouldn't be surprised if they just got to a point that was good enough and then didn't want to mess with things
real tragedy is that they didn't use cutting edge web7.0 tech for their front end smh
