asciiRyver 1.2a1

Ryver for the terminal

asciiRyver is a Ryver chat client designed to be able to run in the terminal. This was built on the Asciimatics framework. This is not designed to be professional software, and it is still in the early phases of development. At present, there may be lots of bugs encountered, but the basic chat functionality is working, including: forums, workgroups, direct messaging, topics, and topic creation.

Requirements

Python 3+

pip3

Installation

Linux: sudo pip3 install asciiRyver

Windows: pip3 install asciiRyver

Usage

once installed, you can start the chat with the command: asciiRyver

Forums and Workgroups will appear in the left column once logged in. You can select these rooms to switch to them.

Users for the current chat you are in will appear on the right column. Users are also selectable to being Direct Messaging.

The topics button can be used to see topics by forum or workgroup. You can select the topic to begin chatting, or create a new one if desired.

Known Issues

If someone sends an image or gif via chat, it may append two lines to the chat you are in.

If you create a new topic, you may not see responses in that topic until you refresh and rejoin the topic.

Notes

I will gladly take pull requests to help iron out issues! It has been a fun project to work on.

TODO

• Chat history when selecting topic

• Resolve issue with multiple displays of same message

• Presence change for users?
