Random Quotes

Rust app that displays a new quote every time you open a terminal

Random Quotes in Action!

Setup

  1. cargo build --release
  2. Move random-quotes binary to a location on your path (e.g. $HOME/bin/random-quotes)
  3. Create a quotes.csv file formatted with quote goes here,author of quote on each line
  4. Place the quotes.csv file next to the random-quotes binary, or use a full path (see Usage below)
  5. Add the binary call to the bottom of ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc (e.g. $HOME/bin/random-quotes) and save
  6. Reload your terminal, and voilà, you have a random quote whenever you open the terminal!

Usage

You can run the program in two ways:

  1. Without arguments: It will look for quotes.csv in the same directory as the executable

    random-quotes

  2. With a full path to the quotes file:

    random-quotes /Users/kevin/.kevin/code/random-quotes/quotes.csv

Future Things?

  • Fix TODOs in program, once I get better at Rust ;)
  • Allow specifying the filename via command-line options
  • Integrate with Google Spreadsheets to fetch quotes
