Show HN: bbcli – A TUI and CLI to browse BBC News like a hacker

48•wesleyhill•2d ago

hey hn!

I (re)built this TUI tool for browsing BBC News in the terminal, it uses an RSS feed for getting headlines and previews and you can read articles too.

Try it out and let me know what you think! :)

The link is payload, maybe you could link to a concrete image or some free search engine?

https://nmsceefax.co.uk/ for a live browser-based example.

Would be interesting to hear why this over a general purpose text-based browser like Lynx.
