Rationale
I was looking for an excuse to try out Lumo's build api, and have a crack at building a CLI tool. As I periodically peruse Hacker News stories, I thought it'd be fun to provide a tool to quickly check the latest from the command line. Even though there are more fully featured CLI's out there, it was fun to build.
Tools
- ClojureScript
- Lumo
- Hacker News API
Default view showing "Top stories", along with author, time, and comment count.
The command hcknws -d compact shows just the title and comment count on one line for a more condensed view.
The command hcknws -h displays usage, options, and examples.
The command hcknws -t light changes the colours for light backgrounds.
