fullscreen-message
@readwithai - X - blog - machine-aided reading - 📖⚡️🖋️
A command-line tool to show big messages across the entire screen which can be closed with any key press.
Features
- Scales text
- Supports multiscreen set pu
Motivation
Finding notifications at the side of your screen can be a pain. It is useful when multitasking but sometimes you want somethign simple.
Installation
You can install fullscreen-message using pipx:
pipx install fullscreen-message
Usage
Show hello world across the whole screen:
fullscreen-message 'Hello world'
If no arguments are given it reads from stdin.
Alternatives and prior work
I found a PyPI package called fullscreen-alert which does somethign similar, but it didn't have any documentation and seemed to be a module rather than a command-line tool.
For the shell, you tools like figlet to draw big messages.
