Hacker News in your terminal.
hnterminal prints the current Hacker News front page to your terminal in a
dense, aligned, ruled layout. This is the minimal early release (v0.0.1) of
the HNTerminal project — a
high-information-density HN reader that renders public HN data and layers on
computed signals (velocity, heat, controversy) the HN API does not provide.
This seed renders only. The intelligence layer lives on the backend and lands in later releases.
npm install -g hnterminal
Requires Node 18+ (uses the global fetch).
