  A Terminal UI to browse Hacker News

> something that cuts out all layout, formatting and images and shows me the raw article text in a fixed with font.

FYI, I have implemented a reader view for `hackernews_tui v0.6.0` [0] which seems to satisfy most of the conditions above. Judging from my experience, this reader view works quite well and can cover many use cases.

Wow this looks dope. I'll try it out.

I just realize that you are the author of https://github.com/ggerganov/hnterm. I just came across with it recently while finding some HackerNews apps on GitHub. If I understand correctly, `hnterm` seems to use the official Hacker news API for rendering. I found it quite hard to use compared to the HN Algolia APIs. Do you have any suggestions on how to utilize the official APIs better?

  Custom, realtime RSS feeds for Hacker News

  

I use Newsboat and newspaper3k for that, works pretty well.

You can add the HN feed with hnrss: https://hnrss.github.io/

Maybe not the best solution, but I've been using it for a couple of weeks and it works.

  Documentation and Samples for the Official HN API

  

If I understand correctly, Algolia front-page API[0] only allows you to get at most 34 stories (either with `sort_by` points or submitted date).

Hacker News official APIs[1], on the other hands, use a specific algorithm to determine the ranking of submissions and allow you to get at most 500 stories.
