Command line interface for [Write.as](https://write.as) and [Write.as on Tor](http://writeas7pm7rcdqg.onion/). Works on Windows, OS X, and Linux.
Like the [Android app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abunchtell.writeas), the command line client keeps track of the posts you make, so future editing / deleting is easier than [doing it with cURL](http://cmd.write.as/). The goal is for this to serve as the backend for any future GUI app we build for the desktop.
It is currently **alpha**, so a) functionality is basic and b) everything is subject to change — i.e., watch the [changelog](https://write.as/changelog-cli.html).

### Examples
These are a few common uses for `writeas`. If you get stuck or want to know more, run `writeas [command] --help`. If you still have questions, [ask us](https://write.as/contact).
#### Share something
-Basic use: `echo "Hello world!" | writeas`
-#### Create post from command output
-Share some code (*nix): `cat writeas/cli.go | writeas --code`
+Without any flags, `writeas` creates a post with a `monospace` typeface that doesn't word wrap (scrolls horizontally):
-Share some code (Windows): `type writeas/cli.go | writeas.exe --code`
+```bash
+$ echo "Hello world!" | writeas
+Posting...
+Copied to clipboard.
+https://write.as/aaaaaaaaaaaa
+```
+
+This is generally more useful for posting terminal output or code, like so (the `--code` flag turns on syntax highlighting):
+
+OS X / *nix: `cat writeas/cli.go | writeas --code`
+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 `EDITOR` environment variable, falling back to `vim` on OS X / *nix.
+
+Customize your post's appearance with the `--font` flag:
-#### Compose a new post
+| Argument | Appearance (Typeface) | Word Wrap? |
