Procrastination can be a full-time job.

A Gnus backend for Hacker News.

Git paid, not played.

Install

We are trying to push ELPASO_ as the preferred package installer. Alternatively, directly clone this repo and make install.

Usage

In your .emacs or init.el, use ONE of the following:

::

;; Applies to first-time Gnus users (custom-set-variables '(gnus-select-method (quote (nnhackernews ""))))

or, if you're an existing Gnus user,

::

;; Applies to existing Gnus users (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnhackernews ""))

Then M-x gnus.

Enter the nnhackernews:news newsgroup with RET.

Gnus will only show followup comments for threads you read, so be selective. If you accidentally read a thread, or decide the thread is uninteresting, you may C-k it to prevent Gnus from showing followups. Use C-k liberally.

The signal-to-noise of the hackernews firehose is such that I often "catch-up" via c to flush the unread threads.

Create a post via a.

Reply to articles with f or r. Include original with F.

Vote articles by R = (up), or R 0 (retract).

From the *Group* buffer, press g to refresh all groups. M-g on a particular group to refresh individually.

From the summary buffer, /o redisplays articles already read. x undisplays them.

S c cancels articles.

Gnus beginners may find the interface bewildering. In particular, groups with no unread articles do not display. Use L to bring them out of hiding.
