# inspire
*a simple command-line idea collection tool!*
I find myself often lacking ideas for new projects or other things to make, so I made this little **command-line tool** to remember any ideas i get for later!
## How to build
Either run `cmake .` and then `make`, or just use gcc: `gcc main.c -o inspire`
## Usage is simple!
* To add a new idea that you have:
```
$ inspire add [idea]
```
This will read from stdin if you don't supply text, so you can happily pipe into it:
```
$ some_other_command | inspire add
```
Examples:
```
$ inspire add asteroids clone but you're the asteroid
```
```
$ inspire add
My new idea
```
* To retrieve a random stored idea:
```
$ inspire give
```
Example:
```
$ inspire give
asteroids clone but you're the asteroid
```
(the ability to remove items directly as a reaction to this is WIP)
* To remove a specific idea from the list:
`inspire remove` starts the process of removing an item from the idea list. This process is interactive.
```
$ inspire remove
ideas:
ID idea
0: finish my game
1: send my friend a gift
2: take a walk to the forest
3: idea i dont want
remove idea (ID) or "-1" to exit: 3
ideas:
ID idea
0: finish my game
1: send my friend a gift
2: take a walk to the forest
remove idea (ID) or "-1" to exit: -1
$
```
* To see all stored ideas:
```
$ inspire show
my first idea!
finish my game
work on fixme's in 'ideas'
asteroids clone but you're the asteroid
```
this can then be piped to `less`, `shuf`, for other processing.
* To clear all ideas, there is currently no builtin way. The best way is to remove the file `$HOME/.inspire/data`.
