- 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

- Back when I was a lowly web dev intern - I was able to finish most of my work rather quickly. Obviously, instead of going above and beyond - I found a way to browse Reddit in the terminal.
My manager was non-technical, and so anytime he walked past my desk it appeared that I was hackin’ away. I had (and still do) have my terminal set up to be black background with bright cyan text.
- 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:

- 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
- 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.
- 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?
- The CLI tool space has changed so much since then. Everything is getting rewritten in Rust or Go now.
- these may be of interest:

- Lazy question: is the web API (CURL) allow to login and do posts?
