#+TITLE: fortune-taoup --- Fortune cookies from The Art of Unix Programming and friends
#+CAPTION: Running =M-x fortune-taoup= to get a sample screenshot
[[./screenshot.png]]
A simple Emacs extension to show words of wisdom from the =fortune=-like
tool, [[https://github.com/globalcitizen/taoup][taoup]].
* Quick Start
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(use-package fortune-taoup
:load-path "to/where/you/cloned/fortune-taoup"
:if (executable-find "taoup-fortune")
:custom
(fortune-taoup-text-scale 6 "Slightly larger text for my $WORK laptop.")
:config
(setq initial-buffer-choice
(lambda ()
(toggle-frame-fullscreen)
(fortune-taoup))))
#+end_src
* Notes
** TODO Use =taoup= directly instead of =taoup-fortune=
The latter script is an example tool that gives single statements at
random - maybe let this extension manage all of them instead?
** TODO Add a basic test and CI
Test is something simple enough like getting a random line, and CI is
likely GitHub Actions.
** TODO Publish to [[https://melpa.org][MELPA]], or not...
This extension is simple enough to [[https://github.com/quelpa/quelpa][quelpa]] instead, but we'll see...
