Twistr
OK, so I was a little bit bored and couldn’t sleep, so I decided to play with cURL on my iBook G4 (yes, I know one has to be bored to do this). My field of play was the Tumblr API. I don’t understand much of APIs, but Tumblr’s seems very simple, and making scripts with it was easy as. I don’t like graphical clients to do things, well, except Awesome WM, which, in my case, is just a container for terminals and a single instance of Luakit, the web browser.
Long story short, after learning by trial an error I decided to release the first version of the script I have used to post this text file. It is in a very early stage, but now it supports:
- Posting text.
- Posting video.
- Posting photos.
- Full UTF-8 Support via cURL and
cat. - Reading your credentials in a specified file.
- Tiny script, tested after each release, and with a very small footprint.
Installation procedure
- Download the script.
- Make it executable (
chmod u+x /path/to/script). - Run it, and it will tell you what to do.
License
This script is uncopyrighted and is not guaranteed to work for you. I don’t care what you do with it.
