Hi all,

I am looking for a local database that is easily accessible via the command line.

It can be SQL or non-SQL

Whats my use case? I want to use it kinda like a second brain. A place to save my notes, my todo lists, my book reading lists, links / articles to read later, etc.

I want it to be a good CLI citizen so that I can script its commands to create simpler abstractions, rather than writing out the full queries every time.

Maybe sqlite is what I need, but is that ideal for my use case?

Edit: removed notes, as evidently they aren’t suitable for this and aren’t like the rest.

    @matcha_addict Are you a contractor or a manager, or something along those lines? I feel like assigning tasks to other people with due dates, but only having that available in a local database only to yourself feels excessively complicated. A personal todo list in my life might mention a specific person but I can’t imagine needing to track like that with such a level of fidelity without something that might also loop the other person in on their own expectations, like a kanban board might do.
