π NAME π
verse-dialog β the little cutie that pops up your daily devotional verse from scripture β¨ like a lil gift every single day, no cap π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
verse-dialog
That's it bestie, that's the whole thing. No flags, no args, she just runs π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
Okay so picture this: you run verse-dialog and it reaches into the database sitting at /usr/share/verse/daily.verse and pulls out the verse that's specific for the current date. Today's verse. Your verse. Main character energy fr fr π
Then β and this is the iconic part β it uses dialog to show you that verse inside a pseudo-window. A whole fake lil window, just for your scripture. Why do we care? Because that means verse can be used from a menu running under X π so even when you're clicking around in your graphical setup, the verse still finds you. Obsessed, honestly π«Ά
lowkey a tiny program doing a very sweet job and I respect it so much π
