Cowsay, but full of love
Project description
━━━━━━ ❖ ━━━━━━
❖ Information
lovesay is a simple and lightweight python script that displays a quote from a loved one based on the day of the month
❖ 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
- First, install poetry
$ 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)
