CLHN is an elegant elixir command line application that allows you to glance at Hacker News.
./hn [best | new | top] [count | 10]
Assuming you have elixir:
git clone https://github.com/nichochar/CLHN.git
cd CLHN
mix deps.get
mix escript.build
This will output an executable erlang script hn.sh in the root directory:
./hn top 5
