QATAKI

======

(Please note: Twitter used to work some time ago. Currently

it is not supported.)

Qataki is a CLI gs.sdf.org/StatusNet/Twitter client.

It's a shell script that you can use to read/post notices

from the command line in a simple manner.  Besides that,

with qataki you can: reply to posts; retweet notices;

search for notices.  As you can see there are not fancy

features.  However, if you feel that something useful

lacks, contact me (@chr, gs.sdf.org) or play yourself

with the code!

Qataki's website: http://chr.tx0.org/qataki

By default gs.sdf.org and Twitter support is enabled. You

can use a StatusNet site by creating an alias in a

configuration file. More info here:

http://chr.tx0.org/qataki/documentation#StatusNet

It has been tested with bash (used by default) and ksh93,

on NetBSD and Debian.

This is how it looks like:

DEPENDENCIES

------------

You'll need usual UNIX utilities like sed/awk/grep.

You'll also need cURL,[1] ELinks,[2] and par[3].

INSTALLATION

------------

1) Download:

$ wget http://github.com/chr/qataki/blob/master/qataki

2) Make it executable:

$ chmod +x qataki

3) Use it:

$ ./qataki

(you can place it somewhere in your $PATH so you can run

it directly as "qataki", without the leading dot-slash).

When you run Qataki for the first time, it will ask your

user info and save it in its configuration file (by default

it's located at $HOME/.qataki/qataki.conf). You can add more

accounts later running "qataki k".

Read "qataki h" for help.

[2] http://elinks.or.cz/ . This is not, however a "hard"

dependency. If ELinks is not installed on your system,

Lynx will be used. In this latter case, you'll have

problems with accented letters and non-latin alphabet.

[3] http://www.nicemice.net/par/ . This one also isn't

really necessary, though it will format nicely the output.
