hnapp

hnapp is a command-line tool designed for interacting with Hacker News. It allows users to browse Hacker News directly from their terminal, providing a lightweight and efficient way to access the popular news aggregator. The tool typically displays articles in a navigable list, often with options to view headlines, read summaries, and follow links to the original articles.

hnapp aims to replicate the core functionality of the Hacker News website in a text-based environment. Users can often sort articles by various categories such as "top stories," "new stories," or "ask HN." The interface is usually designed to be intuitive for terminal users, with simple keystroke commands for navigation and interaction. This makes it a convenient option for developers or anyone who prefers working within a command-line interface.

The development of hnapp is often community-driven, with contributions from users who seek to enhance its features and usability. Its primary benefit lies in its speed and minimal resource consumption, making it an attractive alternative to opening a web browser for quick access to Hacker News updates. The tool is typically available for installation through package managers, allowing for easy integration into a user's existing development workflow.
