Hacker News TUI for cyberdeck browsing
Problem
Users want a stable, persistent way to browse Hacker News threads on specialized devices like cyberdecks, but current solutions rely on volatile feed positions and lack integration with existing TUI tools.
Pain points
- Need to save actual HN item IDs for predictable return paths
- Desire for a meaningful browsing experience on a cyberdeck
- Preference for existing TUI ecosystem tools (e.g., circumflex)
Questions to verify
- Would you be willing to pay for such a TUI?
- Do you frequently need to save and return to HN thread links?
- What TUI tools do you primarily use on your cyberdeck?

I've been looking for a meaningful way to browse HN on my cyberdeck and this looks perfect.

I'd recommend saving actual HN item IDs rather than feed positions. Since the front page reorders constantly, relying on item IDs makes returning to a saved thread completely predictable.

I've been using https://github.com/bensadeh/circumflex for a while now, I like it a lot.
