I've thought about building an API that integrates Twillo with the HN API. Lots of planes/airlines have free messaging wifi, but not free wifi. But, if you could text a number and get the top n stories, then read the comments and perhaps the text of the stories (?) would be pretty nice way to pass some time. Alas I haven't done it yet...

#22I used to question alternative CLI ui/ux. Not anymore: > Coworker who sees me looking at something in a browser: "Glad you're not busy; I need you to do this, this, this..." > Coworker who sees me staring intently at a command prompt: Backs away, slowly... Well played.

I haven't used links, but does it get the comment indentation properly?
Edit: tried with elinks as well, same (more or less) thing. :-(

I tried just now and it seems the answer is "no" on comment indentation. I don't see any indentation at all, everything is a flat list, left justified. Edit: tried with elinks as well, same (more or less) thing. :-(
