A TUI for quickly searching Crates.io

cratuity's Issues

Add higher density layout

I'd like to be able to have a denser layout with all information appearing in one line in a tabular fashion, as it would make it easier to compare relevant features across crates (eg. which one is newer or has more downloads), and find crates when you might need to examine multiple crates - eg.

crate name | creation date | max version | newest_version |     updated    | downloads | recent downloads | description
hello        11/22/14        1.0.4         1.0.4            12/11/15 15:53        3262                 37 hello world
...

Alternatively, there seems to be a fair bit of wasted space when the terminal height is large enough - making the current card-layout fit more items into a single page if the page is taller might also be nice.

Allow navigating to crates.io / relevant links

crates.io provides a lot of useful links in the search interface (to Homepage, Documentation, and Repository, and the actual page, which displays the README.md) - being able to immediately open these pages in the native browser, from the CLI, via a hotkey, would be very convenient. I'd imagine the hotkeys could be something like c for the crates.io page, h for the crate homepage, d for its documentation, and r for the repository.

It would also be really nice to be able to open the README.md (as in what crates.io displays) inside the terminal (eg. via the Enter key), since it would make it easier to check if a particular crate provides the functionality you need. This repo (https://github.com/Canop/termimad) seems like it would make the rendering portion easier to implement.

Allow searches via command line

At the moment, finding results requires launching the app and then typing in the crate to find and then search options. It would be nice if you could do

cratuity -f "crate name" -s relevance

and immediately see the results for crate name sorted by relevance without having to do any further typing.

Possible Integration with cargo-edit?

Research the possibility of integrating with cargo-edit to be able to edit a project's Cargo.toml file while still in the TUI.
