🔮 write to your future self <3

cornelli is your small terminal app for the times when you really desire to give your future self pats for the work you do; or for expressing any thoughts to them.

Universal install

cargo install nelli

Using Homebrew

brew install hitblast/tap/cornelli

Pre-baked releases

Get binaries for your platform here.

🪄 Usage

Start by writing a letter to yourself:

# unlocks after 20 days, 1 hour, 2 minutes and 1 second
nelli keep "Miss the board games with friends?" -t 20d1h2m1s

You'll be asked to enter a "password". This is what you'll use periodically to enter and access cornelli, so set something that you can remember.

As time passes, let this command surprise you once in a while if you feel like it:

nelli mailbox

Hopefully you'll enjoy what comes next! :3

If you do wish to, however, make all your lost messages lost "forever", try:

nelli burn

☘️ Compiling

cargo build --release --quiet --locked

🪄 Why

This is a Christmas project - a friend and I decided to spin up a friendly hackathon for building a time capsule of memories. And besides, what better way to set the mood for this day than creating something fun with the tools you have?
