❖ Requirements

  • A quotes file stored in $HOME/.config/lovesay/
  • Each quote must be on a new line, see the example quotes file in .config/lovesay/quotes
  • (optional) A partner to write you 31 lines full of love, one for each day of the month

❖ Installation

Install from pip

$ pip3 install lovesay

Install from source

$ git clone https://github.com/ZenithDS/lovesay.git
$ cd lovesay
$ poetry build
$ pip3 install ./dist/lovesay-0.2.3.tar.gz

❖ Usage

lovesay can be used with a variety of different color schemes.

lovesay uses catppuccin as it's default color scheme, but a different one can be specified using a positional argument.

For example:

$ lovesay # uses catppuccin
$ lovesay nord # uses nord 

Supported color schemes as of now:

by default, lovesay checks for the quotes file at $HOME/.config/lovesay/quotes if there is nothing there, it will just print out a heart with no quote


❖ About lovesay

I wrote lovesay because I got tired of seeing neofetch or pfetch every time I opened my terminal. I wanted something more personal.

Seeing words full of love from my partner is a lot better than any other command I could possibly run. It makes my terminal feel cozy, welcoming, and as is the case with most things my partner touches, it makes my terminal feel like home.

I hope that someone else finds a use for this little script as well. Love is a wonderful thing, and we could all use a little bit more of it in our lives (especially arch linux users)


❖ What's New?
