They aren't - they'd have led with that. (note: I use arch and am legally obligated to tell you).

Somebody recently vibecoded https://github.com/fragmede/nitpick and posted here which is pretty good but I really want to browse the sites in terminal too. Then I discovered I have had an hn alias to lynx gopher://hngopher.com . w3m also works but I want to be able to browser with full w3m images support but most sites just break on needing JavaScript. Some front end to a headless chrome/Firefox instance like brow6el or awrit might work but I haven't attempted those with much success yet

The CLI tool space has changed so much since then. Everything is getting rewritten in Rust or Go now.

Can we have an official Hacker News API that lets me authenticate to my account and grab the submissions and comments that I have upvoted?
