Something Awful
This is an early-stage unofficial client to Something Awful.
Some of the things you can do:
- Read public user profiles
- Fetch individual posts from threads
- Get the status of bookmarked threads
The client assumes that you have a registered account. Register here.
See tail-something-awful.rs for an end-to-end example that uses the client to tail updates to bookmarked threads.
Put Something Awful in a tmux pane and never get anything done at work ever again! Example output:
$ ./tail-something-awful
Logged in.

The program caches your credentials by default in .something-awful.token and
also caches seen post history in .something-awful.history to avoid showing
duplicate messages.
