PluralSync is a small CLI application written in rust to syncronize and centralize the control over the front on SimplyPlural and PluralKit. It's my first project in rust, so the code is probably a mess and I'm most likely not making use of some rust features that would benefit the project.

Suggestions on how to improve the code are very welcome. After all, the objective with this project was learning more about the language.

Usage

Configuration

On the first run, if it does not exist, PluralSync will create a configuration directory and populate with a json file with the following structure:

{
  "pk_key": "// Pluralkit token",
  "sp_key": "// Simplplural token"
}

Just fill it with PluralKit and SimplyPlural tokens associated to your account.

Commands

Sync

Once the configuration is ready, you can start by calling the sync command, which will get the list of members of the system and place their data in a system.json file inside the configuration folder. Running commands like set or add without a present system.json will automatically fetch the data for you.

Remember to sync whenever you change the information of the system! i.e. adding a new member, rename…

Set

Takes multiple arguments. Sets the current front to the selected list of members.

Add

Takes multiple arguments. Adds the selected members to an already existing front.

Get

Displays the current front. The result is displayed in console but also stored in a plain text file named .front in the configuration directory, for use with other applications (Polybar, OBS…).

Memberlist

Writes the known list of members based on the system.json file.

Future

Given the nature of the project as a learning exercise, there are currently a set of features and improvements I'd like to add eventually.

• Proper error handling (What I have currently is simply a mess)
• Rofi and zenity support
• Proper way to handle front conflicts between PluralKit and SimplyPlural
