CLI Session client #1412

Probably no chance for a command-line or TUI version? No such plans? :)

(Sorry for not exactly an issue but a general question...)

Seconding that! A CLI under linux would really be a nice addition here. Love what you guys are doing!

beantaco commented 3 years ago

Thirding this feature request. :-)

beantaco commented 3 years ago

I made a suggestion of adding support for command line options in #1503.

Fourthing. A basic no frills text CLI with maybe vt52-vt100 terminal emulation like in the old Unix days. The BBS never died. Maybe ANSI colors and extended text on monitors beyond 80x25 or 132 x50 ? 3270 terminal emulation for the geeks from IBM out there like me?

This needs to happen!! This would be amazingly useful on Linux and even other operating systems!

Any way to send Session messages programmatically would be very useful.

Can't we repurpose parts of https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli

+1 but note that interacting with Session users programmatically isn't just for 1337 h4x0rs who want to talk with their friends on their linux laptops over CLI; it would be a huge boon for business adoption.

My use-case: I want to be able to send alerts from my server to my handset e2ee. Consider, for example, all of the useful bots used in Slack & Matrix. Having the ability to write a simple bash or python script to send messages over Session would be hugely useful.

Hoping the developer will add support for onion routing and closed group chats

VityaSchel commented 5 months ago

I'm happy to announce that I'm building headless version of Session: https://github.com/VityaSchel/session-nodejs-bot

I spent a few days and with it you can already get latest conversations, read other user's names and right now I'm trying to debug sending messages

@VityaSchel will it be possible to securely obtain it? npm is infamous for supply chain security issues.

Sure, just go ahead and clone my repo. Session-desktop already uses npm to download all packages. I will redistribute my project in npm in case someone wants to use it as module. All they need to do is just import { initializeSession } from 'session-messenger-nodejs' and they can start building bots with it

maltfield commented 5 months ago

I don't think we should consider any supply chain that requires the use of npm to be secure.

Same for "downloading from github" -- except for releases that are cryptographically signed with PGP (but if those signed releases are built with npm, then you're still vulnerable)
