Why wouldn't you need a UI? What makes a UI too bloated?
2 comments

A UI is more work, and a CLI can be piped into all sorts of personal projects/workflows. I sure would like this.
I didn't say it's too bloated, but whipping up a script like this would take me time in the scale of minutes, while adding a basic UI would make that hours, and not be too useful. To be even a little useful the UI has to do quite a lot.
