This is awesome! Currently, though, it allows you to browse a listing of headlines, but that's a great place the start. One feature that would make this tremendously more usful is just adding integration to the Python 'webbrowser' module to open the currently selected entry in the user's default browser. That might even be the only feature this needs :) I'll be watching this!
It's neat, but it only displays the top stories and there's no way to really read the stories? I think it's nifty, but not necessarily useful.
Sometimes the URLs are too long, though. Then I have to navigate to hacker news. The same if I want to comment.

He said "executable". Is the executable flag set on readme.txt?
Oh, sorry. I misread. Yes, it's set. Going to remove it. (But I don't find it a big deal that it's set personally.) Update: done.

Try cycling the display modes with 'm'. There is a mode that displays the URLs. I usually just copy/paste it. I can't open them in a browser because I run this program on another computer via a ssh session, therefore I have not yet implemented this feature. Sometimes the URLs are too long, though.

On OS X at least, you could shell out to the open command and pass in the url.
Won't we all hitting HN's home every couple seconds cause a server meltdown?

It doesn't matter much, but it's a nice and very obvious way of saying "you should run this". You clone the repository, type ls, see one file green, and you can instantly run it, without reading the doc, or guessing.
