Sorry for asking this after you put a lot of work into the GUI, but does the old CLI still work, or has the backend changed too much?

Hi!

The short answer is that the old cli does not work anymore - many of the APIs it relied on have been deprecrated and/or redesigned since the prototype.

However, we do now provide both go and rust library bindings which have a much nicer, and better designed, interface to cwtch.

They are the same bindings we use to build the GUI and bots so it shouldn't be too difficult to take one of those libraries and expose functions to a cli.

This isn't something we currently have the capacity to take on as a main project, but we are happy to provide help/guidance/hosting if someone wants to start hacking on one.
