Cetus is a simple wallpaper management tool written in Go. It supports multiple
sources for fetching the background.

*Note*: Cetus is a work in-progress & many features are yet to be implemented.
*Dependency*: [[https://feh.finalrewind.org/][feh]]
* NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day
cetus-nasa uses NASA's API to get the Astronomy Picture of the Day.
*Note*: If the returned media type is not image then cetus-nasa will only print
details & not try to set background.
** Features
- set APOD as background
- fetch information on APOD
- choose custom date
- choose date randomly
** Examples
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
# set currently APOD as background
cetus-nasa
# set date randomly
cetus-nasa -random
# set 2020-01-05 APOD as background
cetus-nasa -date 2020-01-05
# 2020-03-15 APOD is a video, cetus will only print details
cetus-nasa -date 2020-03-15
# change api endpoint & api key
cetus-nasa -api https://api.nasa.gov/planetary/apod \
-api-key DEMO_KEY
# don't set background, just fetch information
cetus-nasa -fetch-only
# don't output anything
cetus-nasa -quiet
# don't set background, just fetch & don't output anything
cetus-nasa -quiet -fetch-only # why would anyone do this?

* Demo
I just run some cetus commands on my computer, nothing fancy. I'll make better
demo videos someday.
*Note*: Cetus was restructured multiple times & these demos may not work on the
latest release.
