i have been working on my own tool to track books and tv shows. i started as a way to learn lisp. it was fun for a while, but i eventually abandoned it because the commandline interface entering one field at a time was just to clunky.

i went back to editing a plain text file.

some day i want to get back to having a terminal tool, but the key features it needs to have are:

a way to edit fields all at once either using some nice TUI library where i can use tab and cursors to jump from field to field, or what git does, throw me into an editor to add the line.

it also needs to allow me to look at past entries somehow, to make it easy to add episodes/chapters/sequels without having to repeat all the data that is shared.

currently i do that by simply copying an old entry and editing that.
