HN-text

a fast, easy-to-use and distraction-free Hacker News terminal client.

Motivations:

• Easy to use (arrow keys or hjkl navigation should be enough for the client to be fully usable)
• Distraction Free: articles, and comments are converted to simple readble text.
• Fast Navigation and Responsivity

Current Features / Screenshots

• Navigation and opening pages (text-version): ←↓↑→ arrow keys (or hjkl) will navigate from the HN Frontpage → Comments Page → Article's Text and back.
• Open article in default's browser (SPACE key), Comment page ('c' key).
• Append "best" as argument if you want to see Hacker News Best page, instead of the default frontpage.
