Show HN: Hacker News without leaving your terminal

#1
I put this together since I find myself switching away from the terminal to see if anything new popped up in HN. There might be similar ones out there, didn't bother looking. It was a quick experiment, which might end up with a few more features.

Pretty neat. Note that in order to work on Mac OS X, the word "wget" should change to "curl" in the script. (Otherwise it works exactly as-is.)

Great catch, I have wget installed via brew so overlooked that, I'll create a patch shortly.

When you say "If you're terminal is awesome, you can ⌘-click on the links to open them in a browser.", what kind of awesome do I need? I'm running plain old terminal on OS X. (oh, and not to be picky, but that should be "your", not "you're")

iTerm2 for OS X will do this: http://www.iterm2.com/#/section/home

They probably mean iTerm2 (which is a definite upgrade, worth it if you haven't tried it)

Plain old terminal works for me, but you have to ⌘-double-click.
