Hey Dev Community! Will you be my Valentine? Don't say no. Look, I even brought you a gift and everything! ๐๐
Haha! Okay, enough theatrics. I wanted to show you guys something really cool that my team and I have been working on for the past few days. DevTo CLI is a way to access Dev.to right from your terminal.
Us programmers, we really love the command line interface, don't we? That simple, unobtrusive, precise nature of it is what draws us in. GUIs just don't scratch the same itch! And that's exactly why I liked the idea behind HashnodeCLI so much when it released last month. It inspired me to take things a step further and make DevTo CLI.
It's super simple and powerful. You can fetch top posts, posts by an author, posts under a tag, latest posts and even more - all of this right in your terminal window. And the best thing? It's opensource! So you all are not only free to, but encouraged to add more features to it!
