🌸 NAME 🌸

Dianara — a Pump.io client for the desktop. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dianara [--debug] [--config [name]]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Dianara is a Pump.io application for the desktop. With it, you can manage your Pump.io account without ever opening a web browser. No cap. And lowkey you can do stuff the web interface straight up can't do right now — like editing posts and comments, or uploading audio and video. It's giving upgrade. 🔥

What it does:

• Posting text (with some HTML formatting), to Followers, Public, custom person lists created by you, or specific people, in any combination. ✨
• Uploading pictures, audio, video, and other files.
• Showing different timelines, with configurable number of posts per page, moving forward and backward in pages, or jumping to any page directly.
• Liking, commenting, sharing, editing and deleting posts.
• Liking, editing and deleting comments.
• Contact listing, following and unfollowing, either by entering their webfinger address, through buttons in the lists, or via avatar menus.
• Editing your profile, changing your avatar, setting your e-mail address.
• Watching the "Meanwhile" feed and interacting with posts from it. Also the "Mentions" and "Actions" feeds, showing only activities related to you, or done by you.
• Filter out unwanted posts, or highlight them according to some rules.
• Popup notifications when there are new posts, or new "Meanwhile" activities.
• And more! 💜

🎀 USAGE TIPS 🎀

• Press F1 in the program to read the general help.
• You can set "public posting" as the default in the Configuration window.
• There are tooltips everywhere, so if you hover over a button or a text field with your mouse, you'll probably see some extra information. This is specially useful in the "Meanwhile" feed.
• When publishing a note or posting a comment, you can send using the keyboard, by pressing Control+Enter.
• You can use Control+Up/Down/PgUp/PgDown/Home/End to scroll the timeline. Use Control+Left/Right to go forward and backwards in the timeline pages. Press Control+G to jump to any page.
• You can click on the avatar of a post's author to get some options. This also works in the comments, and in the Meanwhile feed. 👑
• If a post is of "image" type, you can click on the image to see it full size.
• You can hide/show the side panel by pressing F9. Most items in the "Meanwhile" column have a "+" button to open the referenced post.
• Adding titles to your posts will make the "Meanwhile" feed and the e-mail notifications a lot more useful! (fr fr, do this one)
• You can temporarily stop (and restart) the auto-updating of timelines by clicking on the "state" icon in the status bar, or by using the Session > Auto-update Timelines option.
• If you connect to the Internet through a proxy, you can set it up in the program settings.
• Dianara offers a D-Bus interface that allows some control from other applications. The interface is at org.nongnu.dianara, and you can access it with tools such as qdbus or dbus-send. It offers methods like 'toggle' and 'post'. 🌈

💅 COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS 💅

• You can use the --config (or -c) command line parameter to specify that a different configuration file be used. For example, if you run "dianara --config myotheraccount", the config file in use will be "Dianara_myotheraccount.conf" instead of the usual "Dianara.conf". This way, you can switch between different accounts easily. You can even run two instances of Dianara at the same time. 👯 You can use any name you wish to identify the configuration, but it must be one word, no spaces.
• Use the --debug (or -d) command line parameter to have detailed debugging information on what the program is doing.
• If your server does not support HTTPS, you can use the --nohttps parameter.
• If you need to connect to a server with a invalid SSL configuration, such as a self-signed certificate or an expired certificate, you can use the --ignoresslerrors parameter. This is not recommended. ⚠️
