Hacker News CLI
Latest Hacker News stories from the comfort of the command line
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
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.
