atsign-foundation / at_talk

VERY simple talk client that uses the atPlatform

atTalk

atTalk is a very simple end-to-end-encrypted command line chat client in homage to Unix talk.

Usage

You need to put your @.atKeys file in ~/.atsign/keys and then run the dart program detailing your atSign and the remote atSign you want to chat with.

e.g.

dart pub get

To ensure that dependencies are in place. Then:

dart bin/at_talk.dart -a "@colin" -t "@kevin"

The person you want to atTalk with will have to do the same but in reverse

dart bin/at_talk.dart -a "@kevin" -t "@colin"

Useful things to do with atTalk beyond having a talk

atTalk can take pipes! Yes you can pipe output to a chat session, which is a cool thing to do sometimes

cat myfile | dart bin/at_talk.dart -a "@colin" -t "@kevin"

or

tail -f ~/myfile.log | dart bin/at_talk.dart -a "@colin" -t "@kevin"
