No hate perceived on my end! To answer your question, I built it for a few reasons:
I wanted to learn Rust, so I used this project to do that
I really love TUI’s and I pretty much live in my command line at work, and since I already automate everything I can to make my work life easier, I wanted to be able to do the same with my homelab
I think it looks cool
For fun. If no one else ever gets use out of it, that’s okay! I just really enjoyed building it and I’m excited to build out more of it.
You’re the first person to catch the reference! Sadly, no I’m not. But I was a prolific PSP modder as a kid so I knew his name and was very familiar with him. So, in my adult life, since he had such a big impact on me, my username is made after him! My real name is Alex so it just kind of worked.
After almost 3 years of work, I've finally managed to get this project stable enough to release an alpha version!
I'm proud to present [Managarr - A TUI and CLI for managing your Servarr instances](https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/managarr)! At the moment, the alpha version only supports Radarr.
Not all features are implemented for the alpha version, like managing quality profiles or quality definitions, etc.
Here's some screenshots of the TUI:

Additionally, you can use it as a CLI for Radarr; For example, to search for a new film:
`managarr radarr search-new-movie --query "star wars"`
Or you can add a new movie by its TMDB ID:
`managarr radarr add movie --tmdb-id 1895 --root-folder-path /nfs/movies --quality-profile-id 1`
All features available in the TUI are also available via the CLI.
