Show HN: A ncurses CRM system (and accounting)

Just out of curiosity: what prompted you to make it ncurses based?

I can see lots of reasons why this could be practical but most of them (like bad network connection or slow hardware) belong to the past.

Is it just a personal preference or aesthetics?

I do most my work in the terminal, using vim and mutt. I wanted something fast, I can't stand waiting for a webpage to load. That's not a good user experience for mem.

So I tried to mimic vim (fast load times and no use for a mouse). Then ncurses was a natural choice because I wanted to be able to reach the app from everywhere (at least until I've made it network aware).
