I made a curl client for HN
curl hkkr.in <== TRY IT! I made a hacker news app that works in the terminal. It's inspired by wttr.in. There is more information in the github repo, if you visit https://hkkr.in in your browser you should be redirected there.
I made a curl client for HN launched on September 9, 2022 with 14 votes, #985 of 3,464 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.
In plain words
This is a terminal-based Hacker News client that works through curl commands, inspired by the wttr.in weather tool. Users can access Hacker News directly from the command line without opening a browser. The project is designed for developers who prefer working in the terminal and want quick access to Hacker News stories and discussions while coding.

Simple Hacker News Client for Emacs2013 · github.com · ▲81I wrote this small client to read hackernews from my favorite editor. It's currently using an external HTTP API [0] but I'm working on my own proxy [1]. I'd love to actually scrape and cache all the info I need using lisp. However, my time constraints are keeping me away of that goal. I could definitely use some help here! :) I'm also planning to add support for comments and posting new things.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.

If, for some reason, the seller is removed from the marketplace, their software stays with them and they can continue accepting orders directly. This model can be used to disrupt any marketplace from AirBNB to UberEats: building tech for home renters and restaurants and later, leveraging that to build a competing…
