Hacker News on the Terminal.

See the front page of HN, use the arrow keys to browse and open particular items in the default system browser.

  • Uses the Ruby curses library to create a terminal UI.
  • Captures keyboard events to allow browsing of the HN front page from the terminal.
  • Tested (and looks colourful) on OSX Mountain Lion, but some functionality may be lost on other flavours of Linux.
  • Ditto the above point if using something other than the basic OSX terminal application.
  • Uses the HN feed available at http://hndroidapi.appspot.com - without that resource this project would not exist.
  • Sorting options included.
  • Some stats included.

This project was created to allow me to scratch a particular programming itch after reading about https://github.com/etsy/mctop. It brought me back to my days in college coding in C where everything was a terminal program!

Please enjoy/contribute/ignore as you see fit.
