Trend

Content creation and management toolkit. Draft posts, edit content, optimize for engagement, schedule publications, generate hashtags, write hooks and CTAs, rewrite text, translate content, adjust tone, craft headlines, and build outlines. All entries are timestamped and stored locally for full traceability.

Utility

Data Storage

All data is stored locally at ~/.local/share/trend/ by default:

• draft.log, edit.log, optimize.log, etc. — One log file per command type, entries are timestamp|input format
• history.log — Unified activity history with timestamps for every command run
• export.json, export.csv, export.txt — Generated export files

Each command supports two modes:

• With arguments: Saves the input with a timestamp and confirms
• Without arguments: Shows the 20 most recent entries for that command type

Requirements

• bash 4+
• Standard UNIX utilities (date, wc, du, grep, tail, head, sed, cut)
• No external dependencies or API keys required

When to Use

1. Content drafting workflow — Use draft to capture ideas, outline to structure them, headline to title them, then edit to refine
2. Social media optimization — Run hashtags for tags, hooks for attention-grabbing openers, cta for calls-to-action, and tone to match platform voice
3. Content scheduling — Use schedule to log publication timelines and translate to prepare multi-language versions
4. Content audit — Run stats to see activity across all content types, search to find specific entries, and recent to review the latest work
5. Data export and backup — Use export json for structured data, export csv for spreadsheet import, or export txt for readable dumps

Tips

• Every command with input is automatically timestamped and logged — nothing is lost
• Run commands without arguments to review your recent entries (shows last 20)
• Use stats to see entry counts per command type for a bird's-eye view
• Export supports three formats: json (structured), csv (spreadsheets), txt (human-readable)
• All log files are plain text and can be edited or grepped directly
