A TUI client for when you're bored

Unbored

Introduction

A simple terminal client for the Bored API. Written in Python and with Textual, using async-bored-api as the API wrapper.

The idea is, if you're feeling bored and need some inspiration for what to do with your day, fire this up and select one or more activities. Your selections are saved so, if you wish, you can treat the application almost like a TODO list; for when you're bored.

Installation

Unbored can be installed using pipx:

$ pipx install unbored

Warning

This is still a bit of a work-in-progress, hence the low version number. The main things that need addressing are listed below.

TODO

• Error checking. LOTS of error checking.
• Test on Windows.

unbored's Issues

Focus is a bit wonky as of Textual v0.20.x

I'm finding I can't easily get focus into the activities, using just the keyboard. I suspect that this is down to how VerticalScroll handles being focused these days. Given that this is one of my older Textual applications and did do some fun things with focus management back in the early days, I should revisit the flow of focus and the code I use to manage it.
