Two problems with tootstream: 1) Visiblity prompt is inconvenient 2) No character counter

@charlag Hello. :)

The visibility prompt needs a little work to make it more convenient. Unfortunately it's the difference between making something that prompts vs having a bunch of flags (and the flags can be a real bear). If you have ideas on how to re-work that flow we'd love to hear it.

And yes, character counts would be awesome, but I'm not sure how to do that outside of using curses (which I'd like to avoid). Again, ideas are most welcome.

Thanks for using #tootstream

@craigmaloney sorry for not using hashtag, it wasn't a call to improve something, just my bragging, don't take it too close, I'm a client developer too and I know that it's hard to not react.
About visibility: I think it could be something like
toot -vpub "BlahBlah"
But otherwise
toot BlahBlah
As usual

About char count... the only thing I see is manipulating the terminal manually and that's a hell afaik.

@charlag No worries. :) Please feel free to create issues in the github repo and we can discuss there. Or I can add them as well but you won't get notified on progress. Thanks!

@craigmaloney I guess the first step is to try a not-super-outdated version. I rarely feel like opening an issue unless I'm absolutely sure it's a bug or a UX bug and I have a better solution. This wasn't the case now, of course

@charlag That's quite alright. I know not everyone is up-to-date on things.

But the -v prompt definitely could use some work and I don't want to lose that issue at all. And if readline somehow handles character counts without messing the terminal up then I'd love to try that. Otherwise I'm opening vim. ;)
