A Nostr quote bot for Linux. Picks a random line from a text file and sends it to Nostr using Noscl.

Simply clone the repo to your home folder and give the shell scripts execute permissions by running this command inside the nostr-quote-bot directory:

chmod +x install_nostr_bot.sh && chmod +x nostrquotes.sh && chmod +x gonostrquotes.sh

Now make sure you put your quotes.txt inside the nostr-quote-bot directory with one quote per line and no blank lines.

Then run the install script:

./install_nostr_bot.sh

Done!

Here is an example of this in action!
