Introducing Utopy - Utopian Curation Bot

Utopy, is a CLI app to curate content on approved contributions shared via utopian.io.

with Utopy,

• You can support contributions directly with your votes
• You can front-run utopian.io bot for better curation rewards.

I believe, this is a win-win situation. I know there is a curation trail on the works, but I don't like curation trails personally. I do like the option to customize my curation. (Blacklisted categories, users etc.)
