## What it is
Gobang is a cross-platform terminal UI (TUI) database management tool written in Rust. It lets users browse and inspect tables in MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite databases using keyboard-only navigation.

## Use cases
- browse database tables from the terminal
- inspect MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite data without a GUI
- manage databases over SSH on a remote server
- query table structure and records with keyboard-only navigation
- view database contents on macOS, Windows, or Linux

## When to choose
- you prefer terminal-based tools over heavyweight GUI clients
- you need a lightweight, keyboard-driven way to explore database tables
- you work across multiple database engines (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite)
- you administer databases on remote servers over SSH

## When to avoid
- you need a SQL editor or query runner - it is still on the TODO list
- you need databases beyond MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite
- you want a polished, feature-complete tool - gobang is in alpha
- you require custom key bindings or themes, which are not yet supported

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: experimental
- function: database, cli, terminal-ui
- domain: databases, developer-tools
- platform: windows, cli, rust
- tags: tui, mysql, postgresql, sqlite, database-client, keyboard-driven, command-line, linux, macos
