Tutorial

This tutorial walks through tt, the terminal interface of Tilde, one small step per page. It uses tt --demo, which shows made-up accounts and messages, so you can follow it before you write a single account into config.toml. Each step is something to try, and it ends with what you should see on the screen. Steps 5 and 6 are not in tt yet: they show how to do the same thing today with tcli.
