I made a CLI tool to get the timely info for the engineers.
Concept of timely
Day by day, the information about the new technologies that the web engineer should follow are increasing. They are news, articles, blogs, facebook posts, twitter and so on.
Now it is not easy to follow the all info. What is the best way to get the timely info quickly and easily. It may be useful to use the CLI tool that can get the timely info by hit just 1 line code.
That’s why I made the timely CLI tool.

If you want the all data all together.
$ timely a
It’s so easy to use and you can get the timely info inside your terminal or command line.
Issues
If you try this timely, you can see the $ timely t takes time.
This is because I didn’t use twitter API and I scrape the website page and fetch the data. I’d like to use the API but I want the easiness like, just install and can use. If timely use twitter API, the users has to get the twitter API token and input it into the config file. But I hope everyone just install and can use this.
But it’s annoying just wait like 2 or 3 minutes, so it’d be better to enable for user to set the twitter API token and make it faster.
I think there are many things that I should fix or improve, I hope this is useful.
Thanks!
