## Project history and usage

tuisky is a Rust TUI client for Bluesky. Its public history is thin but clear: the README and Cargo metadata present it as an atproto/Bluesky terminal client with multi-column browsing, multiple sessions, posting support, pinned feeds, auto-refresh, saved app data, and TOML-based customization.

### Project history

The project follows the small Rust CLI pattern of publishing one binary with a README, crates.io badge, and a GitHub repository as the documentation surface. It uses the Bluesky and atproto ecosystem as its application domain and a terminal UI as its differentiator.

The README tracks feature maturity with checklist items: multi-column browsing, session management, pinned feeds, auto-refresh, saved app data, image and record embedding, file-based configuration, and planned work such as external-link embedding, replies, notifications, and chat.

### Adoption history

Official install instructions document `cargo install tuisky`, AUR installation through an AUR helper, and x-cmd. The input package facts add Homebrew and Nix packaging, placing tuisky in the package-manager niche of small social-network clients that developers try directly from their terminal package set.

GitHub's repository page reports multiple releases, with v0.2.2 shown as the latest release on Dec 28, 2025 in the indexed official page view.

### How it is used

Users run `tuisky` from the terminal, optionally passing `--config path/to/config.toml` and `--num-columns` to control layout. Default keybindings cover global quit and focus movement plus column navigation, refresh, selection, back navigation, and menu toggling.

Configuration is TOML-based. The README shows keybinding sections and watcher interval settings, and points to a JSON Schema in the repository for the configuration schema.

### Why package nerds care

tuisky is notable for users who prefer social clients that can be installed, upgraded, pinned, and scripted like other terminal tools. Its Homebrew, Nix, AUR, x-cmd, and cargo paths make it part of the terminal-first response to Bluesky's atproto ecosystem.

### Timeline

- Current README: Documents the tool as a TUI client for Bluesky with multi-column and multi-session support.
- Current README: Documents cargo, AUR, and x-cmd installation.
- Dec 28, 2025: Official GitHub page indexed v0.2.2 as the latest release.
