Summary

devRant terminal client.<br /> <br /> Currently it can display rants, comments and images and avatars are<br /> converted to ascii images just for fun.

Description
Ok so I was experimenting with command line apps in node.js and ended up making a very basic devRant cli app. My personal copy also allows you to login and ++ / -- rants but I removed this from the repo before posting because I have not asked permission to spoof the devRant web app and to prevent skids from using it to make ++ bots. This was literally just a 2am mucking around proof of concept and sadly I doubt I will be continuing development on it so I figured I would hand it over to the community -  it is a pretty fun little project after all. The code is scrappy. It was born butt ugly and has not been debugged or tested in depth, I may have also introduced a few new bugs by removing the login functionality. Please feel free to fix / refactor / ignore any bugs you encounter. On a closing note if I was serious about developing this further and letting it out into the wild, personally I would use almost any language but JavaScript (The async loading of images etc is a ball ache to get to load in any specific order).

    That's neat. Now I can pretend I work in terminal while ranting instead 😂😂

    This is awesome! I think this has inspired me to do something similar.

    *If* I do, I would make it in python and curses. Anyway, this looks fantastic!

    Okay... seems like there aren't really and good python libraries for devrant.

    Is there a http(s) api I could use? I was jsrant. But it loads realtime and could be tricky to scrape.

    @coolq look at the node library I used. It uses the open devrant api. Would be good to post a python version on github!

    @coolq it uses rest but the devrant library takes care of the requests

    @kurtr the JS library uses web scraping? Or does DevRant have an API?

    Using a transpiler with async/await will make life so much easier
