Written for Python 2 by Matthew Lewis of Kestrel Development.
Allows you to browse the threads on the front page of any 4chan imageboard from a terminal. Supports ASCII art images!
usage: yot.py [-h] [-i] [-o] [-w WIDTH] [-t INDENT] [-r WH_RATIO] board
positional arguments:
board the abbreviation of the board to read (ex: r9k, g, tg)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-i, --images enable ASCII image display (default: disabled)
-o, --op-only only show the first post of each thread on a board's
front page, instead of showing the first post and a
few replies (default: disabled)
-w WIDTH, --width WIDTH
set terminal width in chars for word wrap and ASCII
image display (default: 80 chars)
-t INDENT, --indent INDENT
set indent width in chars for thread replies (default:
8 chars)
-r WH_RATIO, --wh-ratio WH_RATIO
set width:height ratio of characters for ASCII image
display (default: 0.55)
Make sure you copy sampleConfig.yml to config.yml so that you have a working default config file. Otherwise, yot will get mad at you when you run it without specifying every argument.

Because I love the terminal, and I love working with APIs, and I love the new 4chan API.
Feel free to send me a pull request if you come up with anything cool.
