What I built

• A TUI(A terminal app with UI) Kanban app

I've taken what I saw in this playlist that was made by @bashbunni and took it to the next level.

I've made some adjustments and in order to this app be able to connect to a MongoDB and saved the data of the user.

As it is a self-hosted app, you can download it and run it with the commands:

make sure that you provide a MongoDB URL in the .env file, the same way it is shown in the .env.example

Background

I've decided to build this app because I wanted to learn Go and BubbleTea. Creating new features/recreating an app is an excellent way to get this knowledge.

Also, as a maintainer of an OSS project(MeteorJS) that has MongoDB as its first-class citizen, I wanted to see what other MongoDB drivers look like with other languages that are not JS. And got happy with the results.

How I built it

(How did you utilize MongoDB Atlas? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)
I used MongoDB Atlas to save user's data in the database. So that whenever you close your terminal, you will not lose any data.

I would say that I learned a lot about Go and BubbleTea and how to use them to make glamorous command-line apps.

Also, I think I got better at MongoDB in general. After all, I could turn my language-specific understandings with MongoDB into general ones because I used them in an unfamiliar language.
