HackTUI
HackerNews, but in your terminal. No browser tabs, no distractions.
Built with OpenTUI because clicking around a website to read comments feels like too much work when you're already living in the shell.
What it looks like

Install
Requires Bun (it's an OpenTUI thing).
bun add -g hacktui
hacktuiOr run without installing:
bunx hacktuiUsage
| Key | Action |
|-----|--------|
| ↑ ↓ | Navigate stories |
| ← → | Previous / next page |
| Enter | View story detail |
| o | Open story in browser |
| f | Go to Feed |
| t | Go to Top Stories |
| s | Search |
| Esc | Back |
| Ctrl + t | Toggle dark/light theme |
| q | Quit |
Pagination works like the real HN — 30 stories per page, numbered continuously across pages.
Why
I got tired of context-switching to a browser just to check HN. This stays in the terminal where I already am. Press Enter to read story details and comments inline, or press o to open in your browser when you actually want to leave the terminal.
