Actually, building a HN CLI client is my goto | "Todo list app" exercise when I learn new languages. | | Here are my versions for elixir: | https://github.com/nichochar/CLHN and golang | https://github.com/nichochar/clhn-go | | (they are much more lightweight than the presented one, but work | well) | nlh wrote: | This is excellent! | | And also - I think that building HN utilities / clients is like | the modern nerd FizzBuzz (in a good way). Is it strictly | necessary? No, but it's a great intellectual exercise, it's | something many of us have thought about, and because there's a | common API underlying, it gives folks a chance to learn about | lots of creative ways to attack the same fundamental problem | space. | | Keep it up everyone! | nickdothutton wrote: | Nicely done, something I can cross off my todo list! | ecliptik wrote: | Last spring I built a dashboard out of a Pocket C.H.I.P [1] and | use haxor-news as one of the panes to refresh the top 10 HN posts | every minute. | | It keeps me from mindlessly flipping to a HN tab to check for new | posts, just glance over occasionally to see if anything looks | interesting. | | 1. https://www.ecliptik.com/Pocket-CHIP-Terminal-Dashboard/ | jedimastert wrote: | I just remembered I have mine still, that seems like as good a | use as any.
