matrix-commander-gael

This is NOT an original piece of work, just a snap of matrix-commander

This program is a simple but convenient app to send and receive Matrix messages from the CLI in various different ways. Use cases for this program could be

• a bot or part of a bot,
• to send alerts,
• combine it with cron to publish periodic data,
• send yourself daily/weekly reminders via a cron job
• send yourself a daily song from your music collection
• a trivial way to fire off some instant messages from the command line
• to automate sending via programs and scripts
• a "blogger" who frequently sends messages and images to the same room(s) could use it
• a person could write a diary or run a gratitutde journal by sending messages to her/his own room
• as educational material that showcases the use of the matrix-nio SDK

Create an alias for ease of use (optional)

sudo snap alias matrix-commander-gael.matrix-commander matrix-commander
