You can install using
`sudo snap install hnterm`
or
`brew install ggerganov/ggerganov/hnterm`
There is something intriguing and (maybe telling) in the longevity of the terminal mode. It was invented out of pure necessity when various resources (compute, screen, network etc) were really scarce. So it is extremely information dense. No superfluous eye candy, just the Word. In a sense the terminal is now the most respecting of our own limitations when parsing the firehose of information that is drenching every s…
