I'd love for the program to support folders - probably based on the organisation of the Obsidian vault you have it connected to; I'm going to have so many tables in this thing eventually, some organisation would be useful.
By default, it does support Folders! Technically you don’t even need Obsidian. I used Obsidian vault terminology because a vault is just a folder filled with markdown files.
I’m considering updating the language to reflect the fact that this has no dependency on Obsidian.
I think it's better to say it tolerates folders, but doesn't do anything with them in the application - for example, I have several folders, one for naming tables from a particular book, and several folders under that for particular sections.
Oracle does not do anything with these folders. All you get is a list of random tables to choose from, with no grouping based on folder. I was imagining expandable folders containing subfolders and tables.
That’s great feedback. Currently Oracle keeps track of where the tables are coming from, and which subfolders they’re in, so I can add a view that preserves the folder organization. This way, the table browser in Oracle can act as a file browser as well.
I’ll create a ticket for this and add in the next release.
Great suggestion! I originally envisioned Oracle as an extension of perchance.org. I wanted to get feature parity with the perchance grammar. This has been mostly achieved by this Rust implementation. I plan on adding these features to Oracle next year. This would take care of variables and boolean logic.
Embedded scripts from another language is also something I thought of doing, though limited to Lua or Python for now. I am in the process of rewriting this to support Go and Lua, heavily inspired by this Slay the Spire clone which supports Lua scripting.

Other features that would be nice: variable assignment, logic, and the ability to add scripts in some other language.
