hi there! i'd like you to try out a tui i made for browsing hackernews. it's built using opentui and also effect (learning experiment). i really like it and i think you will too!

Thank you, I've been looking for a meaningful way to browse HN on my cyberdeck and this looks perfect.

I just rewrote it on my device in ratatui using codex in 16 minutes and it uses 10x less RAM 150MB -> 15MB

the binary file is 10MB

Loved it, thanks for sharing! If you can add logins and posting it would be great!

"Zig with TypeScript bindings and React components" for TUI is definitely the wildest, weirdest stack for a given job I've seen.

45m agoHN ↗

Where are you seeing any mention of Zig? All I see is TypeScript?

That's a lot of deps to read HN.

Maybe your clanker can do it without.

In the old days, you would telnet into a host machine that just serves this up to you. No need to install anything.

And this is why people aren’t going out of the loop any time soon. A normie asks the bot to make a project, it produces nonsensical complexity like this.

16m agoHN ↗

Are you comparing with `curl | lynx` or with Chrome?

HN data is accessible through the Firebase API: https://github.com/hackernews/api

You don't need to as much as parse HTML to read it. Building a client by hand in C even should be pretty painless as long as you don't write your JSON parser yourself.

It would be nice to read the articles in the terminal as well, maybe just as an markdown output.
