SPINC - Spark In Console

This is a Cisco Spark (now called WebEx) chat client for use in console. Written in GO that works in MacOS and Linux.

This client uses about 15MB RAM compared to the official client that uses 500MB - 1000MB RAM. However, this client currently only support chats (not file-share, video-chat etc).

Screenshots

The theme is possible to configure in spinc.theme file.

Use

If you don't want to build form source. Just download "MacOS/spinc" (Mac) or "Linux/spinc" (Linux).

1. Configure "auth_token" in spinc.conf. This token is retrieved by logging in and get authorization token here: https://developer.webex.com/getting-started.html#authentication
2. ./spinc http://<your_external_ip>
3. Write /help in Spinc to view available commands and keyboard shortcuts.

If you don't have an external IP. Use a tunnel. If you decide to use ngrok there is a start script provided (spinc.sh). Spinc register webhooks to receive updates hence it needs to open up an external port. In case you are behind a firewall you can use any type of tunnel service (or host your own).
