The Write.as Command-Line Interface (CLI) is a cross-platform tool for publishing text to [Write.as](https://write.as) and its other sites, like [Paste.as](https://paste.as). It is designed to be simple, scriptable, do one job (publishing) well, and work as you'd expect with other command-line tools.
Write.as is a text-publishing service that protects your privacy. There's no sign up required to publish, but if you do sign up, you can access posts across devices and compile collections of them in what most people would call a "blog".
+**Note** accounts are not supported in CLI v1.0. They'll be available in [v2.0](https://github.com/writeas/writeas-cli/milestone/4).

#### Share something
By default, `writeas` creates a post with a `monospace` typeface that doesn't word wrap (scrolls horizontally). It will return a single line with a URL, and automatically copy that URL to the clipboard:
```bash
$ echo "Hello world!" | writeas
-https://write.as/aaaazzzzzzzza
+https://write.as/aaaaaaaaaaaa
```
This is generally more useful for posting terminal output or code, like so (the `--code` flag turns on syntax highlighting):
This completely overwrites an existing post you own.
```bash
-$ echo "See you later!" | writeas update aaaazzzzzzzza
-```
-
-#### Claim a post
-
-This moves an unsynced local post to a draft on your account. You will need to authenticate first.
-```bash
-$ writeas claim aaaazzzzzzzza
+$ echo "See you later!" | writeas update aaaaaaaaaaaa
```
### Composing posts
If you simply have a penchant for never leaving your keyboard, `writeas` is great for composing new posts from the command-line. Just use the `new` subcommand.
`writeas new` will open your favorite command-line editor, as specified by your `WRITEAS_EDITOR` or `EDITOR` environment variables (in that order), falling back to `vim` on OS X / *nix.
Customize your post's appearance with the `--font` flag:
| Argument | Appearance (Typeface) | Word Wrap? |
| -------- | --------------------- | ---------- |
| `sans` | Sans-serif (Open Sans) | Yes |
| `serif` | Serif (Lora) | Yes |
| `wrap` | Monospace | Yes |
| `mono` | Monospace | No |
| `code` | Syntax-highlighted monospace | No |
Put it all together, e.g. publish with a sans-serif font: `writeas new --font sans`
If you're publishing Markdown, supply the `--md` flag to get a URL back that will render Markdown, e.g.: `writeas new --font sans --md`
