Show HN: Retronews – TUI for HN and Lobsters emulating classical Usenet readers


TUI browser for HN and Lobsters emulating classical Usenet and mail readers - luke8086/retronews

A Python script for browsing Hacker News and Lobsters discussions with a nostalgic interface emulating classical usenet and mail readers, like slrn and mutt. It was primarily written so I could highlight interesting threads and keep track of read / unread messages (see blog post). To customize retronews without directly editing the script, you can put any valid Python code in~/.retronewsrc.py(or other location specified with--rcfile) to be executed on startup.
