About This Project

A new era for Splash CLI is coming! After many weeks thinking how to upgrade the project codebase I decided to completely rewrite the CLI from the ground in Go.

The idea is to replicate the original functionality to keep the new experience as close to the original as possible.

Why Go?

• Distribution will not depend on NPM
• No need to install any dependencies
• Lighter bundle size
• No need to use any build tools
• Blazing fast (~2500%) (0.22s vs 5s)

Feature List

• Change wallpaper on your desktop
• Download photos
• Login to your account
• Create new collections
• Add photos to collections
• Like photos
• More to come
