hackertalk

Get HN discussion for the current URL, in a CLI.

why?

When reading an article online, I sometimes feel that the discussion on HN is much more interesting than the article itself.

what's this?

hackertalk will take the url that you give it, and search via the awesome [hn.algolia.com] (http://hn.algolia.com) and try to give you the submissions, on a CLI.

installation

$ npm install hackertalk -g

usage

$ htalk <url> [--lucky]

If you provide --lucky as last argument, it'll open the first suitable match.

demo?

search whole of HN

This was uninteded, but if you want to search with keywords, you can do it like:

$ htalk "multiple monitor productivity"
