thesauromatic
=============
Zero-dependency command-line CLI thesaurus
Demo
----
Pretty much just give it a word, and you get a bunch of similar or
related words back:
``` {.bash}
$ ./thesauromatic deluge
Niagara
abound
affusion
alluvion
alluvium
<...snip...>
waterflood
watering
waterspout
wet
wetting
whelm
whelming
```
Features
--------
- Synonyms from the [Moby
project](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moby_Project)
- Statically compiled, word lists are linked in. No dependencies. Just
download an executable for your target platform.
- Fast; takes about 40 ms to emit the words. This makes it easy to
drive from your editor, and will work offline.
Install
-------
Just download the executable. Check out the *Releases* tab.
Making a new release
--------------------
To make a new release, use the tool *bumpversion* to increase the
version number; this will update the version number in all the right
places, commit that, and add a matching git tag. Then push those
changes:
``` {.bash}
$ bumpversion patch
$ git push --tags origin master
```
Then go to and create a
new release, using the same tag as the one created above.
To build a release binary, use `dub`:
``` {.bash}
$ dub build --build=release
```
Then upload that binary into the github release just created.
Tips & Tricks
-------------
Take advantage of CLI filters! How about formatting the output into
columns?
``` {.bash}
$ ./thesauromatic flippant | column -c70
airy facetious leering smart
bantering facy light-hearted smart-alecky
belittling fleering malapert smart-ass
biggety flip mocking smirking
bluff fooling nervy sneering
booing forgetful oblivious snickering
brash free and easy offhand sniggering
brazen fresh offhanded snorting
careless frivolous panning supercilious
casual gally perfunctory superficial
catcalling gratuitous pert tactless
chaffing grinning quizzical taunting
cheeky heedless ragging teasing
chutzpadik hissing railing thoughtless
cocky hooting rallying twitting
contemptuous impertinent razzing uncalled-for
crusty impudent reckless undiplomatic
cursory inconsiderate regardless unheedful
degage indifferent respectless unheeding
derisive insolent ridiculing unmindful
derisory insouciant roasting unprepared
discourteous irreverent rude unready
dismissive jeering sassy unserious
disregardant jocular saucy unsolicitous
disregardful joshing scoffing untactful
disrespectful kidding scornful unthinking
easygoing lazy shallow wise-ass
```
Perhaps you\'re also trying to complete an
[alliteration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliteration) on the letter
`r`?
``` {.bash}
$ ./thesauromatic flippant | grep ^r | column -c70
ragging razzing respectless rude
railing reckless ridiculing
rallying regardless roasting
```
