lemmy-terminal-viewer's Issues

Navigating Nested Comments

Current behavior

we can only view nested comments with one level of depth

Desired behavior

ideally we should be able to navigate N-depth nested comments back and forth

Challenges

Comments are not displayed all at once, so we can't just recursively render everything, we will have to make a "tree-cursor" or something like that to keep track of the state. I'm looking for suggestions on how to implement this properly

Alternatives

Make some custom widgets and render the comments recursively

I can't login to lemmy terminal viewer with my email addresss - [./ltv login "Login Failed"]

When I used my email address, it failed.

secret@secret:~$ ./ltv login
Enter your instance: lemmy.ml
Enter your username or email: [email protected]
Enter your password: 
Error: Custom { kind: Other, error: "Login Failed" }

When I used my username, it succeeded

secret@secret:~$ ./ltv login
Enter your instance: lemmy.ml
Enter your username or email: secretnamebasis
Enter your password: 
Login successful

0.3.0 checklist

• ability to create post
• help page
  - [x ] sort posts on demand
  - [x] more metadata?(comment and reply counts)

Add Authentication

Things TBD

• add an option for login from the cli,
• save the jwt token securely, and use it for relevant requests.

Show comments in tree form

Here's the code I'm using in lemmy-ui to build the hierarchical comment trees. This is necessary because the lemmy server returns comments flat, and its up to clients to build the full trees from the comment parent_ids (currently at least).

LTV looks great BTW!

Render content as markdown

Things TBD:

• support at least a subset of lemmy markdown in post and comments
• make custom widgets to render them

Resources

crates that might come handy:

• termimad
• minimad

Add Themes

Allow user to configure (non-exhaustive list) :

• theme
  - [ ] parameters in API calls (eg: limit when fetching posts)
  - [ ] default instance

Rewrite event system

Rewrite event system to allow opening external programs like nano and less.
