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.
