This is an amazing looking TUI, and I can tell you've put a lot of work and thought into this. Amazing job! You're making me want to install/learn Rust so I can try this out and/or contribute to this (if contributors are allowed, that is). :) Also, what a small world! I've been building a similar, Python-based application [0] for reading HN for the last few months, but it's nowhere near as nice-looking or complex as…

Thank you for your kind words. Contributing and feedbacks are highly appreciated!

What I really want is a reader view on the terminal -- something that cuts out all layout, formatting and images and shows me the raw article text in a fixed with font. Ditto for comments. I've already tried the "hn" [1] command line tool, but it doesn't strip out navigation menus, heads and footers from articles. It's also a bit slow. [1] https://github.com/donnemartin/haxor-news

Two projects that do this with nearly identical output:

- https://github.com/eafer/rdrview

- https://github.com/go-shiori/go-readability

Pipe the filtered HTML output into your favorite textual web browser for an ideal reading experience.

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.
