layang

A terminal UI for managing blog posts via a Laravel API.

Features

• List published posts and drafts in a single view
• Create, edit, publish, unpublish, and delete posts
• Body editing via your preferred external editor
• Excerpt auto-generated from body content, or set manually
• Token-based authentication (held in memory only — never written to disk)

Installation

cargo build --release

The binary will be at target/release/layang.

Configuration

On first run, layang creates a config file at:

Platform	Path
Linux/macOS	~/.config/layang/config.toml
Windows	%APPDATA%\layang\config.toml

api_url = "https://your-site.com"
editor = "vim"

You will be prompted for your API token on every launch. The token is never written to disk.
