I recently replaced moment (which is huge like others mentioned) with luxon ( https://moment.github.io/luxon/ ). It has pretty much all the same functionality but a way smaller size.

Looks like a great start! One thing that would be essential is better feedback on errors. Currently, if I enter an invalid SQL query I’m only told that it was incorrect. For beginners, this can be frustrating.

Fish has been my favorite shell for a few years. My favorite part is the auto suggestions, which works really well. And new completion rules are relatively easy to add.

Thanks for the feedback! Some of the questions have quite long code snippets, while some have only one line. But there should be room at least on iPhone5 to make the buttons larger. I'll work on it for the next update.
