hipchat for terminal

Get your authtoken from Account Settings. Be sure to select all scopes.

---

npm install hc-cli -g
hip init <authtoken>      // hipchat authtoken from your settings

hip ping <user> <message> // sent a private message
hip chat <room>           // join the chat room

And of course you can get directly to Mathias

hip pingm <message>

why?

Hipchat becomes popular but skype guys like me don't want to keep two messangers open. A small terminal chat on demand is the only compromise to quickly reach hipchat folks when needed.

And that's a draft version done for CPH hackaton #5

next

• lookup users or rooms on tabbing
• improve terminal UI, maybe with having it as a static sticky chat showing last 10 messages
• features to share terminal logs:

hip snap <user-or-room> // sends a snapshot of terminal logs to the user or room
hip snap <user-or-room> --s // lets u scroll to some terminal logs and snap it to the user / room by pressing "S"

• hipchat v.2 guys are implementing api for querying private messages history, so it will be possible to make a private chat hopefully soon
