Hey everyone,

Today, I've decided to take a much-needed break from the code. I'm planning to spend the day unwinding, probably getting lost in some games on the PlayStation. But before I sign off completely, I wanted to share a few simple updates and changes I've made to a couple of the command-line tools I've posted about before.

#### Visual Upgrades for `auto-market` & `claim-rewards`

First up, both the `auto-market` scripts and the `claim-rewards` tool have received a cosmetic facelift. I've integrated the Python `rich` library to make the terminal output cleaner, more modern, and easier to read with better formatting and color. It's a small change, but I think it makes the tools much more pleasant to use.

Here's a peek at the new look for `hive-market` from the `auto-market` repo:

And here is the updated output for `claim-rewards`:

#### Spring Cleaning for `claim-rewards`

The other update is more of a "spring cleaning" item. A while back, I had bundled the `claim-scot` script into the `claim-rewards` repository since they shared some code. However, I was recently informed that the `claim-scot` functionality is largely unnecessary now, as it seems most SCOT tribe rewards are handled automatically on a daily basis.

While building the script was still a fun learning experience, there's no sense in maintaining a tool that isn't needed!

So, I've removed the `claim-scot` part from the `claim-rewards` repository. Since the shared code was no longer necessary, I took the opportunity to refactor the main Hive rewards claimer back into a simpler, **standalone tool**. This should make it even easier for people to use for its one primary, and still very useful, purpose.

That's all for now! Just a couple of small improvements I wanted to share. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think my PlayStation is calling my name.

Have a great day!

As always,
