alt Hacker NewsHacker News CLI (2014)
Comments
Somebody recently vibecoded https://github.com/fragmede/nitpick and posted here which is pretty good but I really want to browse the sites in terminal too. Then I discovered I have had an hn alias to lynx gopher://hngopher.com . w3m also works but I want to be able to browser with full w3m images support but most sites just break on needing JavaScript. Some front end to a headless chrome/Firefox instance like brow6el or awrit might work but I haven't attempted those with much success yet
Lazy question: is the web API (CURL) allow to login and do posts?
Anyone use hnterm? https://github.com/ggerganov/hnterm
I think it still works pretty well, and written in C++ instead of the "cool kids" Go/Rust
I thought this would provide easy query access, but it does not seem to.
Is there a CLI that queries hn.algolia.com and returns structured data?
Usually the first thing, the page should mention is how to install it.
it is as if developer does not want anyone to use this tool.
The CLI tool space has changed so much since then. Everything is getting rewritten in Rust or Go now.
Can we have an official Hacker News API that lets me authenticate to my account and grab the submissions and comments that I have upvoted?
no information about installation - no github repo
(2014) OP
Nice work — I like the simplicity.
I built a TUI version of this in Go — I just love doing everything in the terminal.
Built a small prototype here if you’re curious: https://github.com/heartleo/hn-cli
