Slacktus

This is an small utility for updating your slack status. I wrote it in Rust because it is multiplatform, fast and dependency free.

I use it with my pomodoro app. I may publish it as a crate in the future after some time using it.

Installation

After git pull and cd into the directory:

cargo install --path .

How to use

TL;DR. As an example:

slacktus -t xoxp-00000000000-00000000000-00000000000-00000000000000000000000000000000 -e :tomato: -s 'Focusing for 25 min, I will respond in a bit' -d 1

After it is installed, execute slacktus --help and it will show all the options.
