How come Hackernews don't have Emacs reader/client?

from the self-post dept.

I use Emacs alot and just got hooked to this Hackernews website. I searched over the internet for a way to interact with HN inside Emacs and found no good way but this one:

https://github.com/clarete/hackernews.el

which is very bad and opens articles in default browser or embedded lynx browser inside Emacs.

The question is: How Emacs guys interacts with Hackernews?

Because people who get work done don't read HN in their code editor :P

The readme implies you can use `t` to open inside emacs. Did that not work?

the `t` opens the article in the embedded lynx browser. I thought there's a complete client for HN to brwose and interact/comment.

I guess I will try to write a client and publish it on Github

It does. But you can't have it.
