bibi

Display a random cognitive bias on your terminal from the Wikipedia List of cognitive biases or send it to your e-mail.

About

I'm very interested in human misjudgment especially cognitive biases, so I built a simple Go program which fetches a random cognitive bias from the Wikipedia List of cognitive biases and displays it on the terminal. The purpose of this tool is to familiarise the user with as many cognitive biases as possible so he can have a better judgment. If you have a MailGun account you can also set up a daily reminder to your e-mail with a cognitive bias.

Requirements

• Go should be installed and set up on your system.
• You should have a MailGun account if you plan to send the cognitive bias to your inbox.

Installation

$ go get github.com/zuzuleinen/bibi
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/zuzuleinen/bibi/
$ go install

• If you want to set-up e-mail sending create a conf.json file based on the conf.json.sample. MailGun is supported only.

Usage

If you want to display the cognitive bias on your terminal simply run:

$ bibi

If you want to send the cognitive bias to your e-mail run the executable with --email flag:

$ bibi --email

This option is a great way to create a daily reminder to read about a cognitive bias a day.
