Show HN: HN In Your Terminal
- kaolinite 14y agoNice project, I may end up using this for stealthy HN browsing at work ;-) I wrote a Hacker News plugin for Sublime Text a little while ago that lets you browse HN from inside the editor. If anyone is interested, the repo is here: https://github.com/dotty/HackerNews-SublimeTextPlugin https://github.com/dotty/HackerNews-SublimeTextPlugin
- bilawal 14y agoI already use hnews. http://rubygems.org/gems/hnews http://rubygems.org/gems/hnews Good work though, looks pretty awesome!
- bencevans 14y agoWow, thanks. I'm the developer behind hnews, great to see others using it and other similar projects being worked on :) If you would like to hack on it feel free, the source is at https://github.com/bencevans/hnews https://github.com/bencevans/hnews
- bilawal 14y agoIronically, I found your gem after wanting to build my own HN CLI. Saved me a bit of time. Thanks!
- bencevans 14y agoGlad it helped! :)

- tectonic 14y agoLooks nice!
- ciaranarcher 14y agoThanks! If you have any suggested improvements then just create an issue on Github and I'll try get around to it (or create a pull request alternatively).
- jakubx 14y agoI use lynx or links to browse hacker news. Useful too.
- thirdtruck 14y agoCan't wait to apply this and the gems mentioned below to a Pebble or other hacker hardware. Thanks!
- bstar77 14y agoThis would be infinitely more useful if there was a view that scraped the comments for each article or (even better) scraped the article itself (instapaper style). I would love to peruse hacker news this way in-between working as I hate getting distracted on websites. If I get some free time I might look into adding that myself.
- gcr 14y agoLinks comes pretty close.

Otherwise you might as well just stick to the browser. There are a lot of times I'll read comments before I read an article, so I could still find it useful even if you didn't scrape the entire article to it's own view but allowed me to browse the comments. reply ....

- rafifyalda 14y agoLooks nice, but it seems to eat all kb input on 10.8 except for up-down arrow keys :( oh-my-zsh, retina MBP, 10.8.2
