Installing

sudo make install to install, and sudo make uninstall to uninstall. You should also create a file to store business hours in at either ~/.local/share/nowopen/businesshours (recommended) or ~/.businesshours. An example businesshours file is provided, so you can get started by running mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nowopen && cp example_businesshours ~/.local/share/nowopen/businesshours. The businesshours format looks like:

Mario Bros Plumbing (plumbers):
    7am-6:30pm
    sun: closed

Usage

Once you have a businesshours file, run nowopen [tag1 tag2...]. Establishments matching any of the specified tags (prefix matching is used) and the amount of time till they close will be displayed. E.g. nowopen plumber will show how long "Mario Bros Plumbing" is open.

Flags

-h/--help: Print the usage and exit.
-w/--where: Print where the config file is stored and exit.
-e/--edit: Edit the config file and exit.
-r/--random: Pick a single random option.
-p/--plain: Print the results to stdout in plain text.
