💖 CLASSIFIED_ADS(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the classified-ads manual page — it lives in the General Commands Manual section, and it's literally just one command, so buckle up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

classified-ads — a whole program for posting ads online so other people can see them 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

classified-ads

that's it. that's the whole invocation. no flags, no args, just vibes 🦋

🫶 DESCRIPTION 🫶

Classified ads is a program for online communications. main character energy fr fr 💜

the main features are, in no particular order:

• server-less design — no server, no problem, iconic
• public announcements 📢
• private messages 💌
• user data
• comments

and if you want the long explanation of the program — like the full lore — please see the "About" dialog inside the program itself. it's giving built-in bonus content, iykyk ✨

🎀 FILES 🎀

for each individual user, a file gets created at:

$HOME/.classified_ads/sqlite_db

this is a normal sqlite database that contains the state of the program. not me having a whole database just chillin' in your home dir 🙈

for backup purposes, a copy may be made and later restored — but only while the program is not running. ⚠️

bestie, listen: restoring an old file fully resets the program's state to the moment when the backup was taken. full time travel, no undo. 💀

now the part nobody wants to hear: upon uninstall of the program, the datafile is left lingering around. it does not get cleaned up. it just stays there. 🫠

users who are sure they'll never use the program again should delete the file by hand. but be careful, because:

⚠️ warning warning warning ⚠️ users' encryption keys are inside this file, among other data. so deleting the file will affect users' ability to access private messages later. like, forever. that's the deal. 🔥💀

so yeah. delete it only if you mean it. no cap. 🌈
