Reddix: Reddit in the terminal
In the latest email from Terminal Trove, I spotted a tool called Reddix. It's a terminal user interface for reddit, where you can set up your account and browse distraction-free through a simple reddit interface using the keyboard and keyboard shortcuts. You can upvote, downvote, and even view images using the kitty graphics protocol.
The setup isn't hard. If you have eget, you can run eget ck-zhang/reddix to install it. You can also install the latest release from GitHub using curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf https://github.com/ck-zhang/reddix/releases/latest/download/reddix-installer.sh | sh.
You also need kitty graphics if you want to show images and videos. You can use homebrew on macOS to do this with brew install --cask kitty.
The more technical part appears to be actually signing in, but it's still not that hard. Here are the instructions on the Reddix GitHub:
Create a Reddit “script” at https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps and set the redirect URI to
http://127.0.0.1:65010/reddix/callback.Launch reddix, press m, and follow the guided menu for setup.
Prefer to configure things manually? Copy
docs/examples/config.yamlinto~/.config/reddix/config.yamland fill in your credentials.
Your "User ID" is the App ID you get emailed after creating the script from your account, and it gives you the secret to input on Reddix as well. Then, you authorize Reddix to use your account and you're all set.
It probably won't be my daily driver, but it's certainly fun to use :)
