hey hn!

I (re)built this TUI tool for browsing BBC News in the terminal, it uses an RSS feed for getting headlines and previews and you can read articles too.

Try it out and let me know what you think! :)

Very cool.

Would be interesting to hear why this over a general purpose text-based browser like Lynx.

My own government luckily even offers to reach out in your stead if a company doesn't respond to your disclosure, so pen testing random websites seems implicitly allowed, but such a vertict is still scary to read for such an innocuous probe.
