Dianara feature request...
Freemor at
Love Dianara.. Seriously it's probably the best Pump client out there.
But it seriously needs:
- To run as a daemon
- A socket or other IPC option for easy scripting
- Preferably the socket would allow authenticated remote connections
- Multiple front ends (especially Ncurses) that talk with the daemon
No... Really.. it needs all that.. and like.. you know, Right now...
N.B:
The author of this note is in no way serious. Well he is serious about thinking Dianara is possilby the best client. But the rest is all "Porches and other pipe dreams" type rambling and should be treated as such.

“[...] What would you do with DianaraD that you could not do with the Pump API directly? [...]”
I imagine this daemon would make it simpler for other apps to interact with the network.
Kind of an already-configured-already-authorized-ready-to-go library xD
lets see:
Save bandwidth
daemon would pull updates every x mins and cache
multiple clients would pull from the daemon
Daemon could have simpler auth mechanism then the API
Saving mor bandwidth
reducing the number of Auth'd clients on the Pump server
- especially since pump servers still lack a way to de-auth clients
Daemon could serve from cache and cache posts while pump server was down
Daemon could make it simple to have all clients connect Via Tor istead of having to set each client up fo do so manually
and more that I can't think of right now
In particular the auth one, auth could just be POSIX file system access to the dianarad socket.
Also, dianarad could act like an MTA and CLI tools wouldn't have to know how to re-post, wouldn't have to wait for completion etc.
