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.
Requires Bun (it's an OpenTUI thing).
bun add -g hacktui

Pagination works like the real HN — 30 stories per page, numbered continuously across pages.
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.
