hackertalk

Get HN discussion for the current URL, in a CLI.

why?

When reading an article online, I sometimes feel that the discussion on HN is much more interesting than the article itself.

what's this?

hackertalk will take the url that you give it, and search via the awesome [hn.algolia.com] (http://hn.algolia.com) and try to give you the submissions, on a CLI.

#installation

$ npm install hackertalk -g

#usage

$ htalk [url]

#search whole of HN This was uninteded, but if you want to search with keywords, you can do it like:

$ htalk "multiple monitor productivity"

#contributions Please! I hacked this together in a couple of hours (or less). Take a look at the todos below.

#todos

• Prettifying output in colors
• I'm feeling lucky argument (lucky) to launch the top result without asking the user
• Filtering out old HN posts that cause blank titles
