nitpick

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

I didn't optimize nitpick, but it's only using 26 megabytes within ghostty for me. http://github.com/fragmede/nitpick

They are! I (well, Claude) built nitpick as a TUI HN client, and it was surprisingly easy to do. https://github.com/fragmede/nitpick

Perfect name! https://github.com/fragmede/nitpick

I'd love to! So I used AI to help me write this, I gotta be honest, but I have this TUI I use over SSH to access HN. I call it Nitpick! It's GPL, athttps://github.com/fragmede/nitpick It uses the HN API and algolia and golang with the bubble tea libraries. I'm parsing/scraping the threads page though, because reconstructing that from the API was proving to be a hassle. It even supports logging in and commenting and reply notification! I'm not totally sure where I land on using libraries (bubble tea) as they do bloat the program with unnecessary features, but I do like its simple text interface over using a web browser and a whole javascript engine for just rendering text. Anyway, patches welcome! :)
