Why would you want to install someone else's bloated mess that includes a ton of crap you'll never use?

- kyorochan 10mo agoTell me about your custom browser you're reading HN on!
- fragmede 9mo agoI'd love to! So I used AI to help me write this, I gotta be honest, but I have this TUI I use over SSH to access HN. I call it Nitpick! It's GPL, athttps://github.com/fragmede/nitpick https://github.com/fragmede/nitpick It uses the HN API and algolia and golang with the bubble tea libraries. I'm parsing/scraping the threads page though, because reconstructing that from the API was proving to be a hassle. It even supports logging in and commenting and reply notification! I'm not totally sure where I land on using libraries (bubble tea) as they do bloat the program with unnecessary features, but I do like its simple text interface over using a web browser and a whole javascript engine for just rendering text. Anyway, patches welcome! :)
