list

A command-line program that makes a nice little list in plaintext. More features to come!

Features

• Small command-line interface
• Uses only the Python Standard Library
• As portable as possible
• Small codebase

Instructions

Soon to come, but right now, it is to be executed as a script.

For POSIX-based operating systems-

Open up the Terminal and then type the following commands-

 cd path/to/list/
 ./main.py

For Windows-

Open up the Command Prompt and then type the following commands-

 cd path\to\list\
 python3 main.py

Note that you must have python3 set in your PATH variable in order for this to work.

So now that all the boring stuff's out of the way....

How does it all work?

• list should open up with this screen-
• Type the name of the file that will store the list and press enter
• Type the title of the list and press enter
• list will display this little dialog- From here on out, list will display your list as it looks like. However, this is NOT a WYSIWYG mode! list is not designed for this type of editing. Editing features are still being added (see edit.py)
• Let's start making our list. So, I've added Lost as the number 1 item on my list.
• Press enter and you'll get these little asterisks. They're there for you to add some more details about your items. Maybe you need to make a list of favourite TV shows (like here!) or you're reviewing a TV show/movie etc. and you need to store as many details as possible. That's when this feature is helpful.
• Enter your additional tidbits and press enter.
• When you're done, just press enter at the asterisk prompts
• list returns you to the main ordered list
• When you're done, press enter at the numbered prompt.

That's it!
