Lizard is a command line (CLI) program for monitoring 8ch threads. After you add a thread to its watchlist, it can connect to 8ch and check if new replies were made, notifying you if so. It will try to keep a local copy of the thread and the files in it in case the thread dies. It can also open all threads with new replies in your browser with a single command.
.whl
package from under dist/
pip3 install lizard-0.<VERSION HERE>-py3-none-any.whl
If upgrading, see wiki.
Running lizard
without any arguments will print the help message explaining the syntax. It will also create a ~/lizard_data
directory to store files.
After you install, run lizard create
to create a new database (if you don’t have one already). Everything else will crash unless a valid database exists.
Add a thread to the database with lizard a <URL>
. Upon adding a thread, Lizard will immediately download a copy of the thread and the files in it. These will be put under ~/lizard_data/
.
You can call lizard r
to refresh threads currently in the database, and see their status with lizard l
. lizard rl
combines these two steps. If you see threads with new activity (marked with !
or Y
), you can open those in your default browser with lizard o
(tip: have the browser running already before you do this).
