I like this! It's very useful and very GUIable (?) in the future.
The only thing that confused me ar first is the 'leading' term. Maybe this is very subjective to me, but I have never heard that term being used to refer people I follow/like/subscribed to. But, I understand the problem that using similar terms like follows and following may cause, so once it is explained, it makes total sense.
Congrats on starting this, I'll be looking forward to use it :)
Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
I also heard the same confusion about "leading" from @EmilStenstrom, so it's definitely a problem. But I'm not sure whether it's best fixed by renaming it or simply document and explain it better. You wouldn't happen to have any alternative suggestions, do you? :)
And yes, I'll probably build a library for most of the functionality and then wrap it with a CLI interface, just to be able to easily also wrap the lib with a web interface.
Can I suggest the two terms: Following and Followers? Twitter use them both themselves: https://twitter.com/EmilStenstrom
I think the term 'follows' becomes very confusing when abstracted from the Twitter world. I'd suggest to use terms that aren't associated with any social network, or at least more generic, to avoid this confusion. Worst case scenario, the user would have to learn what each term means in Chaps, but I believe it's a win because some confusion could be avoided.
What do you think about this?
Yeah, I think that has merit, @p4bloch. Right now I'm thinking it's an education (documentation) problem and so I'll probably go ahead with leading and following. We'll see if I can explain it more clearly and hopefully that solves the problem.
