hncli

I wanted to share what I've been working on and off for the last few years. I'm not a CLI GUI, I use GitKraken for Git operations for instance. I'm an avid lurker of Hacker News though, and I found that a read-only TUI reader was a great fit for my usage - and for allowing me to slack a bit at work ;) I'm proud of the UX I've developed over the years, and especially proud of the architecture that made it possible [0]. It has contextual help, persistent settings, navigation history, and so on. I just hope that this tool can be of use to others, even though it has plenty of room left for improvement. You can test hncli by cloning its repository [1], and building the project yourself with Rust's cargo or Docker.

Nice project! I've been working on something similar [0] also running in the terminal as a TUI. It's made in Rust with a quite novel architecture described in my blog [1]. There's still a performance issue with posts having a large amount of comments but it's quite there yet.

I see that's tui-rs based - check out Ratatui as a maintained fork. https://github.com/pierreyoda/hncli/issues/1

I've been working on a Hacker News TUI reader written in Rust [0]. I'm very proud of the way the architecture turned out - with most notably a components-driven architecture [1]. There's just a major performance roadblock in posts with many comments that I should be able to clear with some more multithreading. Then I just need to make it available in brew and other distribution solutions. [0]: https://github.com/pierreyoda/hncli [1]: https://www.newstackwhodis.com/blog/hncli-2-architecture
