Hello HN! I'm excited to showcase my latest project: "Hacker News Over SSH". Inspired by terminal.shop recently featured here, I've created a tool that lets you interact with Hacker News through a terminal interface.<p>*What it does:*
Hacker News Over SSH allows users to browse HN content directly from their terminal. It is not feature complete yet. As of now, it allows browsing top stories and top level comments of every story. Formatting can be a little off too at some places.<p>*Why I built it:*
The recent project `terminal.shop`, featured here on HN, sparked my fascination with terminal-based applications accessible via SSH. It demonstrated the potential of creating interactive, user-friendly environments within the terminal. Curious about how such applications were engineered, especially since the source code for `terminal.shop` was not available, I delved into the world of custom SSH servers. This exploration led me to build this project and hope it will inspire many more SSH based apps.<p>*Demo:*
Just open your terminal and run:
ssh hn.parishod.com<p>*Source Code:*
