Multiple accounts support

Hi, there!

First of all, thanks for your work, Rainbowstream looks great and very mature!

But I have one serious question, is there built-in ability to work with multiple twitter accounts for same logged-in user? Like:

• rainbowstream opens default Twitter account stream
• rainbowstream -C ~/.rainbow_oauth_additional opens additional Twitter acount stream

Or my only option is to create another user in system and open rainbowstream from it?

Hi @playpauseandstop. Thanks for the idea 👍

RS doesn’t have multiple accounts support at this time, so if you want to log in with different Twitter account:

• Backup current account’s token: mv ~/.rainbow_oauth ~/.rainbow_oauth_whatever.
• Start RS again.

RS will create a new ~/.rainbow_oauth for the new account and this way you won’t need to create another system user.

I will consider to add a feature which allow to manage and quick switch between multiple Twitter accounts in time. Be patient 😃

@benoittgt that’s me too. i’m tmux’in with many things going on at the same time. I would also like to see the ability to tweet via cli through RS without needing to have the interface running. Something like “rainbowstream -t -user ‘Hey what’s happening guys’” or "echo ‘Hey what’s happening’ | rainbowstream -t -user. That way you could insert it into your shell and get/send a tweet at certain times or for certain reasons etc etc.
