sachaos/viddy

Viddy is a modern terminal-based replacement for the standard \watch\ command that executes commands periodically and displays the output in a rich, interactive interface. It provides features such as color-coded diff highlighting, dynamic polling interval adjustment, and a 'time machine' mode for browsing historical command outputs. The system persists execution history locally using SQLite and supports extensive customization through configuration files for keybindings, styles, and timing parameters.

A new \.config/config.json5\ file has been added to allow users to customize the application's behavior and appearance. Users can now define custom keybindings for navigation, search, and help modes, adjust visual styles such as text colors and borders, and configure the time-machine interval step and minimum interval in milliseconds.

Viddy is introduced as a modern replacement for the standard \watch\ command, offering features such as periodic command execution with color output, diff highlighting, a 'time machine' mode to rewind and fast-forward through history, and a pager view. The release includes installation instructions for Cargo, Homebrew, Linux binaries, and various package managers (pkg.haus, MacPorts, Scoop, ArchLinux AUR, Alpine Linux, asdf), along with documentation for customizable keymaps, color themes, and configuration options like disabling shell execution or mouse capture.

The application now features a 'time-machine' mode that allows users to browse and inspect past command executions via a new History component, alongside a new Clock component for displaying the current time. Users can also adjust the polling interval dynamically using the new Interval component, which supports configurable step sizes and minimum interval limits. The main Home layout has been restructured to accommodate these new UI elements, including a Help component for keybinding reference and an FpsCounter for performance monitoring.

Users can now adjust the polling interval dynamically using new keybindings to increase or decrease the step, with a configurable minimum interval enforced via the new \min\_interval\_ms\ and \interval\_step\_ms\ settings in the general configuration. Additionally, the application now normalizes standard output by converting tabs to spaces while maintaining elastic alignment per line, ensuring consistent visual formatting regardless of terminal tab settings.

The in-memory store logic has been extracted into a dedicated memory.rs module, while the SQLite store implementation in sqlite.rs now creates the database file with owner-only (0o600) permissions on Unix systems before opening it, ensuring that backup files are not world-readable.

This change introduces the initial version (v1.3.1) of the \viddy\ package, a modern watch command tool. The diff establishes the project's dependency manifest (\Cargo.toml\) and lockfile (\Cargo.lock\), defining the core library requirements such as \clap\ for CLI argument parsing, \ratatui\ and \crossterm\ for the terminal user interface, \rusqlite\ for local data storage, and \tokio\ for asynchronous execution. It also includes build-time dependencies like \vergen\ to embed build and git information into the binary.
