hmhm 🦞

List latest news items from Hacker News and Lobste.rs in the terminal. It refreshes automatically every 5 minutes.

hmhm is a tool I developed to get a feeling how one could develop a TUI (Terminal User Interface) based app in Go. I tried a few TUI high level libraries but settled on termui.

Simple usage

• Up, down, k or j keys - to change focus up or down.
• Left, Right, h or l - to switch tab.
• Enter - open up web browser with the URL for the focused news item.
• r - refresh content for the active tab.
• Escape or q - to quit

Why the name hmhm?

hmhm (pronounced "humhum") is what I called lobsters when I was a little kid.
