gw2-cli

Simple neofetch-like command line tool for displaying Guild Wars 2 stats by using the official API.

Note: This is a learning project I set up to familiarize myself with Rust, since I did not have any prior experience with this tech stack. Feel free to contribute to this project.

Further ideas / goals

• Localizing static texts
• Achievement points (APs)
• Hall of Monuments points
• In-game currency to collect on the TP
• Number of unlocked character slots
• Available content (PoF, HoT,..)
• Different views (PvP, WvW, Rewards...) using clap arguments
• Character with the most playtime (incl. profession and specialization)
• Different ascii logos based on the main character or other statistics
