Topic: Wondering if Roc is "ready" for my project

Working on a CLI app that needs to be able to read/write/remove files and dirs (often in temp dirs), execute other commands (e.g. open an editor and wait until the user has closed it) , interact with a sqlite DB, and eventually do some network requests to an API.

Is this the kind of thing that the basic-cli is ready for?

That is what basic CLI is made for

We may need to expand apis some, but should be a good basis

Like, I don't think we have a temp for generating command, but that might be good to add

Roc is ready for this kind of app, there are a few examples floating around.

Checkout roc-start which I think is pretty cool.

If you discover anything that is missing, just drop a message in zulip is really helpful.
