xkcd-cli

A simple CLI application to download and display xkcd comics.

Used urfave/cli for the cli magic.

{% alert(fact=true) %} I originally planned to use cobra for this project. However, on the day I started development, a dependency of cobra was down (the developer was hosting it on a private server), preventing me from downloading it. So, I started with urfave/cli instead. {% end %}
