This is CLIve
Reddit live feeds are a great way to keep current with events as news unfolds. The drawback is that you need to keep a webpage open which can take up a significant amount of screen space. CLIve solves this issue by streaming Reddit live feeds to your terminal in a nice, compact, and simple way.

Installation
Either download and extract the files then run (with sudo if installing system wide)
$> python setup.py install
or install via pip
$> pip install clive
Usage
All CLIve really needs is the name of the feed, which is the last part of the live feed URL. For example, if the URL for a feed is: https://www.reddit.com/live/wl2tprwm3v4m/, you will need to pass wl2tprwm3v4m to CLIve.
$> clive wl2tprwm3v4m
The only other option is -w or --width, which defines the maximum width to format the text to. This defaults to 70.
