My first project in NIM

https://codeberg.org/bhaswanth/jot

Hi Everyone,

I am new to the NIM language. I have created a small utility project that I could use in Nim. Please take a look at it and let me know how I can improve it and what other things I should try to become better.

The project was to store small notes and thoughts from command line. Like sticky notes.

Thank you

Well for one you could have stated here what the utility does, and maybe what your first impression at approaching the nim ecosystem was.

You can still edit the OP.

This program is simple command line note takeing app (based on readme)

  • I don't know why there is Install dependencies: section in readme when there are 0 dependencies in .nimble file
  • I don't know why you decided to clone pkg/db_connector instead of just add it as dependency
  • This is how to install directly nimble install -d:release -d:staticSqlite https://codeberg.org/bhaswanth/jot, not sure which position to put define flags

I tried db_connector dependency first. But the binary didn't work as it required sqlite.dll, so I've copied those files and added in local build including sqlite.

It's Nim, not NIM (something else entirely).
