CLI for reading swedish text-tv
Project description
txtv - A client for reading swedish text tv in the terminal
Text-tv is great! plaintext and to-the-point news with no bullshit. Now you can read it without touching your mouse or your tv-remote :)
Installation
Right now you can install it by first cloning the repo somewhere, then installing with pip
git clone https://github.com/voidcase/txtv.git
pip install --user ./txtv
I'm gonna try to publish it in PyPi soon.
Usage
Running with no arguments will enter interactive mode.
txtv
From there you can run any of these commands:
help | h | ? -- show this help text.
quit | q | exit -- quit the program (duh)
list | ls | l -- list all articles
next | n | > -- show next available page.
previous | prev | p | < -- show previous available page.
<PAGE NUMBER> -- show the page at the specified number
You can also give any of these commands as an argument on the normal command line to run un-interactively. Except for quit
, next
, and previous
, because that would make no sense.
txtv 100 # show page 100
txtv ls # list all news articles
Configuration
txtv.py will automatically generate a config file at ~/.config/txtv/txtv.cfg
with default values.
Right now the most interesting thing there is aliases which work both in CLI mode and interactive mode. You can also change what your interactive prompt looks like if you care about that.
