I made it a lot simpler to launch notedeck with custom columns, you can compile and give it a try!
$ notedeck --sec $MAIN_NSEC -c contacts -c notifications -c contacts:$ALT_NPUB -c notifications:$ALT_NPUB
will launch notedeck with 4 columns:
- main timeline + notifications
- watchonly alt timelime+notifications
flags instead of config file or ui elements? I dig it.
it will have both, but flags are great for stateless config on launch
I love how you’re building this so much 🙂
+100 for the flags.
if you pass your nsec like this, pretty sure it leaks to your cmd line history. be cool to support env vars direct, if it doesnt already.
put space before cmd to not add to history
If you are on most Unix-like machines, command line parameters to programs are visible to all other processes. on Linux systems you can find it for example via:
ps -p [some pid here] -o args
they can also read from any file as well. I treat my system as a safe area, but this is still more of a dev version. release version will have encrypted flatfiles for storing keys. although even that is annoying because you have to enter a password every time you open the app. not even signal desktop does this.
on macos we are looking into using local auth for encrypting/decrypting which would be way more slick
I did --sec nsec -c conacts -c notifications but only got one column... not sure what im doing wrong.
Did you pull latest ?
Yes. i tried again and said im up to date.
git show should be hash:
2603d08d1a41bd6b10646db3f35e4fc969aee967
Also make sure to rebuild of course:
cargo build —release
./target/release/notedeck …
env variable for nsec would be better…
