# cbink

a simple c client for the [bink](https://git.tilde.town/nebula/bink)
microblogging platform.  there is no central server, only files in
`/home/*/.bink`, named after the number of nanoseconds since the unix
epoch at the time of their creation.

## dependencies

* make (posix should be fine)
* a c11-compatible c compiler
* libncursesw (with unicode support)

## building

run `make` (and maybe `make install` --- by default this puts the
executable in `~/.local/bin/cbink`, but you can override it with e.g.
`make install PREFIX="${HOME}"`), or just do `cc main.c -o cbink
-lncursesw`.

## see also

cbink has a built-in help screen (`?` key) with information on
keyboard shortcuts, the configuration file format and location, etc.
