Rainbow Stream is a command-line Twitter client written in Python. It's designed to be visually appealing and provide a streamlined experience for interacting with Twitter directly from your terminal. It utilizes color-coding to differentiate between tweets, retweets, mentions, and other information, making it easy to scan and comprehend the Twitter feed. Rainbow Stream supports various features, including streaming live tweets, posting updates, following users, searching for tweets, managing lists, and sending direct messages. It is customizable, allowing users to configure the color scheme, display options, and notification settings.
The client provides an interactive and efficient way to stay updated with Twitter trends, engage with the Twitter community, and manage your account without relying on a web browser or a dedicated desktop application. It's particularly useful for developers, system administrators, and anyone who prefers a command-line interface for their social media interactions.

Rainbow Stream relies on the Twitter API, and its functionality may be affected by changes or limitations imposed by Twitter's platform policies.

Rainbow Stream uses interactive commands entered directly into the client. Examples include: 'home' to show your timeline, 'tweet [message]' to post a new tweet, 'follow [username]' to follow someone, 'search [keyword]' to search tweets, and many more. Refer to the client's internal help system (usually by typing 'help' within Rainbow Stream) for a full list.

Rainbow Stream was developed as an alternative to traditional Twitter clients, aiming to provide a more efficient and customizable experience for power users comfortable with the command line. It gained popularity for its color-coded interface and feature-rich functionality, enabling users to manage their Twitter presence directly from their terminal. Development is continuous, with updates focusing on new Twitter API features and bug fixes.
