interesting, i wonder if the looks/animation work the same. i'd started with opentui and knew nothing about existing tui libraries like ratatui and bubbletea, but at ship time i did see the binary size was much more than i expected and that irked me. i wonder if that goes down too with ratatui.
your point exactly. there's a fair bit of room for improving this relatively simple project, but it's mainly the look and feel i was after without shamelessly shipping slop
hey thanks for trying it out. honestly, this was just a fun selfish project because i'm really into the look and feel of tuis lately. there's no overarching vision with using tui/intermediaries for browsing the web, i believe browsers exist for a reason that LLMs haven't been able to replace yet :)
hey thanks for trying hntui out. that would be ideal, i honestly thought of hooking up brow.sh locally to achieve that. it just gets finicky with a few articles but is a decent experience. i'll keep testing and evaluate the option of a browser config for the tui so you can choose how you'd like to open the link.
not yet mainly because the official api is read only and i didn't dabble in POST-ing. i will say that while building this out, my interest in being logged in to the tui declined and i enjoy just using it for reading. but that's not to say i'd block a feature because of my opinions on it. if i can make it happen, i will give the option :D
haha those 2 lines look awkward together at first glance. the binary doesn't need node/bun. the runtime is compiled into the executable (that's most of its size). :)
