hn-rs is a Hacker News TUI (Terminal User Interface) client, written in Rust. You can browse Hacker News articles by topic, read article content, and view comments — all from your terminal.
- Browse stories from different Hacker News sections
- View full article content in a readable layout
- Read nested comments
- Smooth navigation with familiar keybindings
- Fully terminal-based, perfect for neovim + tmux workflows
Planned: user profiles and more...
As someone who works heavily in the terminal using tools like Neovim and Tmux, I wanted to reduce context switching between GUI apps and the terminal. Building a terminal-first Hacker News client felt like a great way to practice Rust while solving a personal itch.
