iloa's Issues

wu

There is already a CLI for wunderground, wu that is worth exploring. It is written in Go.

Text wrapping

Long blocks of text are being wrapped by letter, not by word.

• Implement by-word wrapping using wrap-ansi in commit 9341117.
• Add to W|A in 8e8ccfb.
• Use term-size to wrap dynamically in commit 5dfe660

DDG bangs don't work

Cache timeout error

wiki command always throws:

**Error retrieving key 'GET|https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?...' from cache:
{ [Error: Timeout expired.] code: 'ETIMEDOUT', message: 'Timeout expired.' }**

Tried disabling cache unsuccessfully. Will try a try-catch-throw block.

Could try using needle instead...

Qwant

Can this be implemented?

Full Wikipedia article prints fallback and label with MediaWiki markup

• Pandoc doesn't choke on it, but it's unnecessarily messy.
  As long as verbose is set to false the output can be piped into pandoc

Commands that merge don't all have Save parameters

IBM acquisition destroys Weather Underground free API

You can read about all the drama on wunderground.com.
AerisWeather.com is the alternative paid service people are flocking to. F*** that. F*** IBM too. I will either rip weather functionality out of iloa and put it in a separate app or get my data from somewhere else.
💀 to corporate greed
DarkSky and OpenWeatherMap seem the best alternatives.
