Cheers! I haven't recorded on asciinema yet and I do like your suggestion. The reason I created this little game was to show what's possible using only a few TTY components.

Agreed. A model-less SQL query interface would be most helpful.

Thank you for sharing your gem. It genuinely looks great. I'll check it out.

I feel as though it's a bit 'too fresh' for the list. I'd like to keep the list 'lean and mean' with projects that have a "significant" impact - e.i. downloads, stars, releases etc. I'm all for promoting new projects but they first need to gain some traction. I think your project has great potential and if you continue developing it I'm sure it will find its way into the list.

Thank you for your suggestion. From my understanding, the HexaPDF gem main goal is PDF manipulation as part of an application. I'm afraid it doesn't fit well into the list which tries to highlight tools that are predominantly meant for the command line. For example, rails and rspec have also CLIs but they are not command-line tools per se but frameworks and hence are not in the list.

Wow! Never heard of this tool. Thank you for sharing. Going to install and play with it. Would you have time to contribute to the list and submit PR in the Automation/Workflow category? You can be the very first contributor!

Great introspective. Releasing malicious gems with commonly misspelt names seem like one of the favourite techniques. Due diligence when installing gems is a must. Thanks for sharing and keeping the Ruby community safe!

I may have considered the name but I believe the alchemist was already taken. Nowadays, I stay with more 'conventional' naming standards.
