I’d be interested in defining my business using a DSL but then ultimately I’d want that to be translated into a UI.

I’d love to simply map all the relationships between stock, assets, tools like invoicing, APIs all in a place like this.

But I have to agree I think CLI alone would result in it being usable by only me.

EDIT: just wanted to add I’m interested in where this project goes.

I think that's fair. I'm personally happy with a text editor + CLI, but can acknowledge that is not enough for broader adoption.

The project is structured as libraries such that you could build an editor separately, but it's not something that has taken priority for me (as the only user, so far).
