Built DockMate: A terminal UI for Docker (27 stars in 3 days)

I built a TUI app for managing Docker containers because I was tired of typing docker ps repeatedly.

Started as a weekend learning project with Go and Bubble Tea.

Added one-command install, auto-update system, and optimised performance (20s -> 2s loading).

I was surprised by the response - hit #1 on r/docker with 27 stars on repo in 3 days!

Would love feedback on what to add next! Current ideas:

  • Custom Keymappings

  • Docker Compose management

  • Container search/filter

What features would YOU find useful?
