# yot

*because console users need 4chan too*

Written for Python 2.

Allows you to browse the threads on the front page of any 4chan imageboard from a terminal. **Supports *ASCII art* images!**

    usage: yot.py [-h] [-i] [-o] [-w WIDTH] [-t INDENT] [-r WH_RATIO] board

    positional arguments:

      board                 the abbreviation of the board to read (ex: r9k, g, tg)

    optional arguments:

      -h, --help            show this help message and exit

      -i, --images          enable ASCII image display (default: disabled)

      -o, --op-only         only show the first post of each thread on a board's

                            front page, instead of showing the first post and a

                            few replies (default: disabled)

      -w WIDTH, --width WIDTH

                            set terminal width in chars for word wrap and ASCII

                            image display (default: 80 chars)

      -t INDENT, --indent INDENT

                            set indent width in chars for thread replies (default:

                            8 chars)

      -r WH_RATIO, --wh-ratio WH_RATIO

                            set width:height ratio of characters for ASCII image

                            display (default: 0.55)

Make sure you copy `sampleConfig.yml` to `config.yml` so that you have a working default config file. Otherwise, yot will get mad at you when you run it without specifying every argument.

Python dependencies

===================

* [python-aalib](http://jwilk.net/software/python-aalib)

* [Python Imaging Library](http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/)

* [argparse](http://docs.python.org/library/argparse.html)

* [OrderedDict drop-in](https://github.com/sprintly/ordereddict) (if Python version < 2.7)

but why would you do this thing?

================================

Because I love the terminal, and I love working with APIs, and I love the new 4chan API.

Feel free to send me a pull request if you come up with anything cool.
