pocket_curses's Issues

rename the cli to "pocket-curses"

Hi thanks for your work in this project. Very nice example of using curses.
Would you consider renaming the executable to something more unique ?
Something with "curses" in the name ?

I test many pocket cli apps on my system and sometimes find it confusing and loose track of which app, executable, token credentials config file etc belongs to whom.
There are many many pocket scripts on github (go , python, node ). Many forget this, and the result is many have the same simple "pocket" name.
There is for example an older go cli app that also instals a cli simply called "pocket", https://github.com/junkblocker/go-pocket

Besides that you do ,
pip install pocket-curses

so it would be nice to get an executable with that name.

Additionally by renaming your cli app to something more unique, it would make it easy to create a package for distributing in a Linux distribution. But if the name conflicts with other apps similiarly named "pocket" than it's a mess with the renaming.
I'd like to package your app to create an AUR Archlinux package.

Thanks in advance

PS There is already another one , https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-pocket/ ,
that will produce a cli named "pocket-cli"
