# ButtBox 0.2.1
Easily create a box of buttons to do things!
## Features
* Make buttons that do things
* Configure with [TOML](./demo.toml)
* Pure Rust, very portable.
## WIP/Why this isn't 1.0 yet
* Pipe the TOML?
* Set commands from CLI?
* ???
## Usage
See the [example TOML](./demo.toml)
## Installation
Manually compiled and tested binaries for Linux and Windows are provided on the [releases tab](https://github.com/Beinsezii/buttbox/releases)
Additionally, stable release binaries are automatically compiled and uploaded for Linux, Windows, and MacOS with the [Build Latest Release Tag Action](https://github.com/Beinsezii/buttbox/actions/workflows/build_release_tag.yml)
while the latest unstable binaries are can be found in the [Build Master Release Action](https://github.com/Beinsezii/buttbox/actions/workflows/build_release_master.yml)
Just pick the most recent (or otherwise) build of your choosing and download the artifact for your system. It'll arrive in a .zip file which you should be able to just unpack and run anywhere.
If you already have [Rust installed](https://rustup.rs/), you can build the latest release with
`cargo install --git https://github.com/Beinsezii/buttbox.git --tag 0.2.1`
You may omit the `--tag` flag if you follow the rebel path and want the latest possibly unstable build.
## F.A.Q.
Question|Answer
---|---
Why?|I already have a custom power menu, and when I decided to add a new button for rebooting straight into Windows using systemd-boot, I decided I should just make a dynamic button program instead of recompiling my other one every time I change something.
Someone's already thought of this!|Probably.
