YHK - yet another hacker news clone

Since https://github.com/micro-editor/MICRO exists for some years now, a comparison would be welcome.

While they play up the keyboard-driven functionality, they showcase a pointer-driven workflow in the demonstration gif. Curious choice, no?

FYI: Claude has committed to the repo.

With the amount of new seemingly well polished personal projects being built (thanks to the help of LLMs) I feel increasingly concerned by how easy it is becoming to get a worm/virus/troyan to a lot of people.

Since going through the hassle of learning vim I can't use anything else anymore.

And for the use case of "I built txt because I spend most of my time in the terminal, and switching to a different tool just to make a quick edit always felt like friction I did not want. The editors that live in the terminal either have steep learning curves built around modal paradigms, or they are too limited to be genuinely useful."

it's literally only a handful of vim commands and shortcuts you need.

I live in emacs over ssh connections. I never use the GUI, just TUI version (so `emacs -nw`) and love it. You can edit files over ssh hops or docker hops using tramp. I don't believe there is a tramp equiv. in other terminal tools. VS Code over SSH is much too heavy handed for quick single file edits but emacs handles it gracefully.

I can understand startups relying on AI tools to test out the ideas. But personal/hobby projects? Feels weird. This is not the place to go fast. Take your time, enjoy the process, learn/make things.

I can tell a README which is a long as that is not written by the author, but of course by Claude.

So, I ain't reading all of that.

I miss the days when people would release software not touched by AI. And I wish at least there'd be a disclaimer saying that this was AI-assisted, so I could avoid it.

This is gonna be a hard name to google :)

Is this even still under development? Last non-renovate commit was early June
