Description : GetQuotes is a simple cli tool to get quotes in your terminal using WikiQuotes, Written In Rust
GetQuotes is a powerful command-line tool written in Rust that fetches and
displays inspirational quotes directly from Wikiquote. Whether you're looking for motivation, wisdom, or
just a quick pick-me-up, GetQuotes has got you covered.
This package mainly uses the WikiQuotes API to fetch quotes. It is a simple and easy-to-use tool that
works in the terminal. I wanted a similar package, but found all of them
unmaintained or not working properly. So I decided to create my own package, which is GetQuotes. I don't know about others,
but some are:
- Quotes CLI (https://github.com/anilpdv/quotes-cli)
- Quotey (https://github.com/galuhsahid/quotey)
- Please CLI (https://github.com/TNG/please-cli)
There are advantages. First of all, it has a built in sqlite database,
and when offline, it can fetch quotes from the database. It also has a feature to fetch quotes from a specific author.
Also, its multi threaded and can fetch quotes from multiple authors at the same time. It has some bugs, I will fix them soon.
I plan to maintain this package as part of the Debian Rust Maintainers team. I would like to contribute
to the team's collective maintenance of Rust packages in Debian, as this aligns well with the
package's nature and ensures consistent packaging practices across Rust-related packages.
As I am not yet a Debian Developer, I will need a sponsor for initial package uploads. I am actively looking for sponsorship and
am committed to learning Debian packaging practices and policies.
I am open to co-maintenance arrangements within the Rust team's framework. This ensures the package remains well-maintained
even when individual maintainers are temporarily unavailable.
