Flokka

A sorting program for those with a more minimalistic system than their environment

Why?

I am messier than most and like new projects. My mother always told me stuff things in a box or something, but how could I keep track of the boxes? With Flokka! As a fan of Old Norse, I wanted to give this a Norse name, but I as Norwegian couldn't find any good words. We have sortere, but that is no good Norse word, so I went with flokka!

Features

• Adding new elements and editing elements
• Moving elements to new parents
• Navigating containers
• Name based searching globally for elements
• A rudimentary config
• Basic persistence in a json file (the above works with the json file)
• Tag creation, assignment, and search
• All above features in Sqlite

Goals

• Easy sorting from the terminal
• Easy search
  • Only in the container
• User friendlyness
• Cloud (with selfhostable server)?
  • Webhooks?
• Man page?
• Uniform keybindings
• Plugins (DSL or Lua?)

Install

Currently installation requires one to have a Rust toolchain installed.

git clone https://git.grim2016.no/grim2016/flokka.git
cargo install --path flokka

Config

Currently the config is in a toml format. The file is located at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/flokka/config.toml. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME equals ~/.config/ if nothing else is set. The fields as of now are:

Field name	Possible values	Explanation
world_name	Any string	The name in the upper left and also the name of the base object
storage_mode	"NonPersistent" | "JsonStore" | "SqliteStore"	"NonPersistent" is only stored in memory. "JsonStore" stores the values in a Json file. "SqliteStore" stores the values in a Sqlite DB
