WORK IN PROGRESS, DO NOT USE (yet ;))

fdcli

A visual command-line client for Flowdock with roughly vi/mutt like key bindings and mouse support.

So it's basically like Tinder but for Flowdock and on a VT100 terminal. Imagine Netflix on a typewriter but more like Spotify but with less music.

Install

  • gem install fdcli (maybe with sudo)

  • mkdir -p ~/.config/fdcli

  • go to https://www.flowdock.com/account/tokens, copy your personal API token

  • create ~/.config/fdcli/config and copy the token and your flowdock "organisation" name into it:

    org: your-flowdock-org-name token: b8227198b8ef6c57e2f55e34c3722706

Usage

fdcli

Files

  • it saves all stuff to ~/.config/fdcli, most of it is in tab-separated format with a header line
  • there's a log at ~/.config/fdcli/fdcli.log (cleared on every run)

Bugs

In xterm (but not in rxvt), scrolling makes the left hand sidebar flicker.

You can't select chat messages with the mouse (to copy+paste them).

The normal ncurses works but doesn't handle UTF-8 correctly, you'll need to link ruby to ncursesw. What seems to work on Debian is doing

sudo apt-get install libncursesw5 libncursesw5-dev
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ruby ruby-dev

It will probably not work on Windows but who cares.
