* Revisiting Twitter clients @ blinux-list ` blinux-list 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: blinux-list @ UTC (permalink / raw) Hi all, I find myself often starting the PC and just doing what I needed to do without starting an XSession at all. Quickly editing a document using, in my case, Nano, simply because I actually like it for being simple, easy and effective. Maybe playing some music, and now that I've figured it out, reading my mail using alpine. Is there a reasonably good TUI Twitter client that doesn't rely on any kind of XSession? I know this has been discussed but, since stuff change so darn fast in tech, and particularly in the FOS world, maybe there's something new to say on the topic.

A while back I tried a smattering of CLI Twitter clients and was pretty disappointed. Rainbowstream was the least bad of them, so that's where I'd start. https://github.com/orakaro/rainbowstream It required the ability to do an OAUTH credential thing, but I think it can be completed using an external browser (such as one on a phone or on a different computer) since all it needs to do is get confirmation from Twitter that the login is legit. -tim On February 1, 2022, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Hi all, > > I find myself often starting the PC and just doing what I needed to > do without starting an XSession at all. > > Quickly editing a document using, in my case, Nano, simply because > I actually like it for being simple, easy and effective.

I am just glad that if you want to, you can actually do this. If I had a choice, I'd never touch a GUI interface again in my life, however, I think that may just be me wishfully dreaming of something that will never happen.
