━━━━━━ ❖ ━━━━━━
❖ Information
lovesay.rs is a port of lovesay in rust. It is a simple rust program that displays a quote from a loved one based on the day of the month or a quote passed in through the cli arguments.
❖ Requirements
Note: These requirements only apply if using you're using lovesay to print a different quote for each day of the month.
- A quotes file stored in
~/.config/lovesay/ - Each quote must be on a new line, see the example quotes file in
.example/quotes - (optional) A partner to write you 31 lines full of love, one for each day of the month

Source
- First, install rust
git clone https://github.com/dotzenith/lovesay.rs.git

./target/release/lovesay
❖ Usage
lovesay can be used in a similar fashion to cowsay
lovesay Hello World
if there's a quotes file in ~/.config/lovesay/, lovesay can be used without any arguments
lovesay
if you'd like to use a quotes stored somewhere other than the path above, the LOVESAY_PATH env variable can be used as such
export LOVESAY_PATH="~/path/to/file"
Colorschemes
lovesay uses your terminal's colorscheme by default, but other colorschemes can be set using an env variable
export LOVESAY_COLORSCHEME=nord # uses catppuccin mocha by default if this is left blank or malformed
The available colorschemes are as follows:
- catppuccin latte
- catppuccin frappe
- catppuccin macchiato
- catppuccin mocha
- dracula
- nord
- gruvbox dark
- gruvbox light
- onedark
- tokyonight
- ayu
- palenight
- gogh
- biscuit dark
- biscuit light
lovesay also supports two other environment variables
export LOVESAY_NO_NERD=1 # Set if your terminal does not use a nerd font (can be set to anything, lovesay just checks for existence)
export LOVESAY_MAX_WIDTH=80 # Override the width lovesay will use to wrap a quote
lovesay has support for pipes as well
lovesay | lolcat # pipe output to lolcat
echo something | lovesay # take input from another command
echo something | lovesay | lolcat # combine the two
❖ About lovesay
While this rust port has grown up to be the main version, the reasoning for the original is below:
I wrote lovesay because I got tired of seeing neofetch or pfetch every time I opened my terminal. I wanted something more personal.
Seeing words full of love from my partner is a lot better than any other command I could possibly run. It makes my terminal feel cozy, welcoming, and as is the case with most things my partner touches, it makes my terminal feel like home.
I hope that someone else finds a use for this little script as well. Love is a wonderful thing, and we could all use a little bit more of it in our lives (especially arch linux users)
