Hacker News Reader

It's neat, but it only displays the top stories and there's no way to really read the stories? I think it's nifty, but not necessarily useful.

Try cycling the display modes with 'm'. There is a mode that displays the URLs. I usually just copy/paste it. I can't open them in a browser because I run this program on another computer via a ssh session, therefore I have not yet implemented this feature.

Sometimes the URLs are too long, though. Then I have to navigate to hacker news. The same if I want to comment.

If you can use VNC, I built this a few years ago: http://akkartik.name/vnc.html

On OS X at least, you could shell out to the open command and pass in the url.

I am going to try to add it right now. :)

This is not going that fast. I have postponed it for a while.
