A terminal application for Pocket

Project description

Pocket CLI
==========

Pocket-CLI is an application for reading / listing and managing your GetPocket.com articles from the terminal.

Features
--------

* Retrieves and indexes all of your articles and saves them into a CSV file in your home directory for quicker response.
* Enables you to specify your reading speed to calculate the amount of time each article requires. You can estimate your reading speed from online tests such as [Speed Reading Online Test](http://www.readingsoft.com/)
* Able to sort articles by reading time (default) and Article ID
* Enables you to search articles by keywords, tags and sort by [GetPocket's sorting params](https://getpocket.com/developer/docs/v3/retrieve). This will perform a request to Pocket.
* Automated app configuration through `pocket-cli configure` command.
* Uses LESS to list article for easy navigation.
* Multiple `fetch` command calls will retrieve articles since last fetch.
