watcat

rust clone of https://github.com/adamanldo/Cosmo

why?

cosmo relies on imagetext-py, which either does not have a freebsd wheel or else uv cannot find it

now it seems that magick-rust can't link on freebsd... guess I'll die

but your code sucks

I'm trying, okay?

running

populate .env with necessary values. a template .env.example is given

create the database sqlx database create (note: make sure you have sqlx installed first)

init the database sqlx migrate run

TODO

• add art and lastfm url fetching
• add help command
• refactor to combine repeated parts of art, url, and fmi. also use macro for commands, and use Option instead of empty string sentinel value
• add spotify link fetching
• make various parameters user-configurable
• use tiny-skia instead of magick-rust?
