Products that do what Hackertuah: A Hacker News CLI Built in Rust does

This was a lot of fun! Using Claude to start, and then Cursor to make more complicated changes, I made a Hacker News CLI, built in Rust, that has a sweet loading screen ;) Wanted a neat way to browse hacker news, and this was a fun start. Just a 4.7M binary on macOS.

   HackerNew for Chrome▲150

   I've been working on and off on a Chrome Extension for Hacker News, the extension focusses on improved usability rather than design. I can almost guarantee that after a day you won't want to go back to regular Hacker News. Give it a try, features include: - Improved readability - Quick inline replies from comments page - Quick profiles with social network info when hovering over usernames - Filtering of stories based on terms and phrases / domain or user - Endless scrolling - Collapsible comment threads - Social sharing for Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Buffer Forks, improvements and comments…

    Hacker News without leaving your terminal▲25

    I put this together since I find myself switching away from the terminal to see if anything new popped up in HN. There might be similar ones out there, didn't bother looking. It was a quick experiment, which might end up with a few more features.

    Hacker News Client for iOS built with React Native▲30

    I made a Hacker News reader for iOS with React Native and Redux. It was mostly for me to learn more about React Native, but I'm really happy with the result. Let me know what you think! I'm hoping to add a lot more features, the first being a settings page with some color settings and dark mode. App: https://appsto.re/us/czg7hb.i Code: https://github.com/seanyesmunt/hackernews
