        Requires [kitty](https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty). It uses the magical `kitty +kitten icat` 'kitten' to display images. For more info see the [kitty documentation](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/kittens/icat.html). Actually, `lscat.py` uses [pixcat](https://github.com/mirukana/pixcat), which is a Python API for icat.
        
        **Why the name Koneko?** Koneko (こねこ) means kitten, which is what `icat` is, a kitty `+kitten`
        
        
        # Features
        See the [manual](MANUAL.md) for more details
        
        1. Artist illustrations gallery ([ex](https://www.pixiv.net/bookmark.php?type=user))
            * Enter the post's coordinates to open it in image view. Coordinates are in the form `xy` where x is column and y is row.
            * Next and previous pages
        2. Image view ([ex](https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/78823485))
            * View an image in large resolution
            * Browse through different images in a multi-image post.
        3. View artists you are following ([ex](https://www.pixiv.net/bookmark.php?type=user))
        4. Search for an artist ([ex](https://www.pixiv.net/search_user.php?nick=raika9&s_mode=s_usr))
        5. View new illustrations from all the artists you are following ([ex](https://www.pixiv.net/bookmark_new_illust.php))
        * Both gallery and image views can:
            * Download an image([PixivUtil](https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2/) would be more suitable for batch download) in full resolution
            * Open post in browser
        
        
        # Rationale
        * Terminal user interfaces are minimalist, fast, and doesn't load Javascript that slows down your entire browser or track you
            * Image loading is *so* much faster, especially if you don't delete the cache
        
        I get 32 trackers on Pixiv. Plus, you have to disable ublock if you ever get logged out
        
        <a href="url"><img src="pics/pixiv_ublock.png" height="350"></a>
        
        The mobile app even directly tells you Google "and our 198 partners" "collect and use data"! See [prompt 1](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twenty5151/koneko/master/pics/ads1.png), [prompt 2](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twenty5151/koneko/master/pics/ads2.png) (Github can't render the images correctly for some reason) and this [list](#trackers-avoided)
        
        * TUIs make you cool
        * TUIs *with embedded pictures* make you even cooler
        * TUIs embedded with pictures of cute anime girls make you the coolest
        * Keyboard driven
        * Familiar, vim-like key sequences
        * I use arch btw
        
        
        # Installation
        See also: [manual installation](#manual-installation)
        
        0. Install [kitty](https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty)
        1. `pip install koneko` (or if you use [conda](CONTRIBUTING.md#conda-environment)...):
        2. Run `koneko` to login and save credentials
        3. Run `lscat 1 7` to help setup the recommended settings; copy to `~/.config/koneko/config.ini`. (Don't skip this step! Image display in the terminal is very sensitive to your config!)
        4. See [usage](#usage) for how to use.
        
        ## Requirements
        
        * Python 3.8+
        * It has been tested on kitty v0.17.2 onwards, but should work on older versions
        * Operating system: all OSes that kitty supports, which means Linux and macOS.
        
        <details>
          <summary>If it crashes (it shouldn't), it might be because pip didn't 'install' the welcome pictures, *and* the script failed to download them for some reason. Try:</summary>
        
        ```sh
        mkdir -p ~/.local/share/koneko/pics

         ```
        </details>
        
        # Usage
        Launch with `koneko`. There are five modes of operation:
        1. View artist illustrations ([ex](https://www.pixiv.net/bookmark.php?type=user))
        2. View a post ([ex](https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/78823485))
        3. View the artists that you are following (or any other user ID) ([ex](https://www.pixiv.net/bookmark.php?type=user))
        4. Search for artist/user ([ex](https://www.pixiv.net/search_user.php?nick=raika9&s_mode=s_usr))
        5. View newest illustrations from artists you're following ([ex](https://www.pixiv.net/bookmark_new_illust.php))
        
        Enter digits 1-5 to proceed. If prompted, paste in an appropriate pixiv ID or url. See below for url examples.
        
        Alternatively, you can supply a pixiv url as a command line argument, bypassing the first interactive prompt. The pixiv url must be either the url of the artist's page, or a pixiv post. Example:
        
        ```sh
        koneko https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/2232374 # Mode 1
        koneko https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/78823485 # Mode 2
        koneko f https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/2232374 # Mode 3
        koneko "raika9" # Mode 4
        koneko 5 # Mode 5
        ```
        For more details refer to the [manual](MANUAL.md#Usage). You might also want to look at [how to configure](MANUAL.md#Configuration) the display settings according to your terminal size.
        
        
        # Roadmap
        
        * `image_mode_text_offset` doesn't have a configuration assistant, or fix the cursor position again.
        * In-depth usage documentation?
        * Consistent public and private methods and attributes again
        
        ## Features
        
        * Offline mode
            - [ ] Launch `lscat` from `koneko`
            - [ ] If integrating frequents into offline, it needs to know what is cached and not
            - [ ] Documentation (in general as well)
        * Go to related works from image view (illust_related)
        * View recommended illusts (illust_recommended)
        
        ## Known bugs
        
        * Prefetch thread still running (downloading) hangs the entire app, even when user quits. Cannot use daemon threads as it still hangs then noisly aborts. Changing prompt.ask_quit() into a UI method so that it can pass a threading.Event() to downloads, doesn't work either as all the downloads has already been submitted to the ThreadPoolExecutor before the user is quick enough to send 'q'. The only way is to interrupt the urllib download process, which is going to be unsafe if you don't know what you're doing.
        * Passing an invalid command via cli will re-prompt the user, but ctrl+c traps the user in koneko with no way to quit.
        * Reloading then going back just redraws the current mode again, with possible instability
        * There seems to be a delay between entering `koneko` and startup, but the delay is before the first line of the script even executes. Import time is fast. `pip install` using the wheel seems to reduce the delay.
        * Does not cache the login cookies, so it logins to pixiv everytime, which might cause pixiv to send you emails. See below
        
        # FAQ
        * Pixiv keeps emailing me saying I've logged in, every time I use this app!
        
        That's because cookies aren't stored so you log in everytime with a new session. Looking at [PixivUtil's cookie implementation](https://github.com/Nandaka/PixivUtil2/blob/master/PixivBrowserFactory.py), it would be easier to base this app on PixivUtil for downloads, than to write it myself (currently, it's based on the [pixivpy](https://github.com/upbit/pixivpy/) api). The problems with this, other than being a huge time and effort investment, is that koneko uses info from the requests, such as number of pages.
        I'd like to fix this but I'd rather not use mechanize but I don't know how to do it either way.
        
        * I'm having problems with lscat
        
        For the best experience use the terminal in full screen, unless your screen is big enough. Moving and resizing it abruptly will not be good for icat, which is really kitty's problem not mine. Extra information can be disabled from being printed.
        
        You can also use versions less than v0.5.1, which retains legacy support for the original lsix shell script. Note that I've never really tested it, which is why I decided to be honest and depreciated legacy support from v0.6 onwards. The current lscat API has matured to the point where it's simple to write a replacement anyway.
        
        # Contributing
        * Fork it
        * Edit the files on your fork/branch
        * Run tests with `pytest testing/ -vvvv -l -s` (`--inte` for integration tests)
        * Submit a pull request
        
        Tips: 
        * If your git client complains about committing to master, just remove `.pre-commit-config.yaml`
        * If you want to, you can create an issue first. Ask any questions by opening a new issue.
        * If you're encountering/fixing a bug and you're stuck, try clearing the cache. For example, a bug might have downloaded to the wrong folder, but after fixing the bug, you need to clear the cache, otherwise it would not download anything and display the wrong contents.

        ## Conda environment
        
        See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md#conda-environment)
        
        ## Manual installation
        
        See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md#manual-installation)
        
        ## Unit tests
        Run `pytest testing/ -vvvv -l -s`. Add `--inte` for integration testing, but don't be surprised if it fails
        
        ## Build and upload to PyPI
        When test installing with pip, don't forget to use `pip install .` or `python setup.py install`, not `pip install koneko` (which will grab from latest stable version). (Yes, I made the same mistake again)
        
        Test installing with `pip install .`, `python setup.py install`, `python setup.py develop`, and `python -m koneko.main` is now automated.
        
        Bump version info in `__init__.py`, `setup.py`, `README.md`, and `CONTRIBUTING.md`
        
        ```sh
        python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
        twine upload dist/*
        pip install koneko --upgrade
        ```
