Building from source

1. Checkout the code
2. make build
3. ./execs/typioca

Prerequisites

• make
• go

Custom wordlists

1. Create your word list in the same JSON format as the official ones example.
   • Note: for new-line separated word lists (like this one), for your convenience, you can use this Clojure script. Explanation how to use it can be found here.
2. Place your configuration to platform specific location:

Config example (it is TOML):

[[words]]
  name      = "Best hits '22"
  enabled   = false
  sentences = false
  path      = "/home/words/best-hits-22.json"
[[words]]
  name      = "Even better hits '23"
  enabled   = true
  sentences = false
  path      = "/home/words/better-hits-23.json"

3. Use your words!

Note: Notice that custom wordlist controls are greyed-out, personal configuration must be handled via the file only.
