Show your GitHub contributions graph on your iOS Devices

Browse Hacker News from your Terminal

User Engagement
The app enhances user engagement by allowing developers to track and visualize their GitHub contributions directly from their iOS devices. This provides a convenient way to remain productive and motivated.
Convenience
Offers a mobile-friendly interface to monitor GitHub activity, making it easy to check contributions on the go without needing to access a computer.
Motivational Tracking
The app visualizes contribution data in a way that can motivate users to maintain or increase their activity levels on GitHub.
Open Source
Being open source, the app allows users to contribute to its development, customize it for personal use, or learn from its codebase.

Limited Functionality
The app may not offer the full range of features available on the GitHub web interface, which could limit its usefulness for more in-depth repository management tasks.
Privacy Concerns
Users need to log in with their GitHub credentials, which could raise privacy concerns if the app's handling of this data is not transparent or well-secured.
iOS Exclusivity
Since it's only available on iOS, Android users or those preferring cross-platform apps are unable to use it, limiting its potential audience.
Dependency on GitHub API
The app may experience limitations or issues related to changes in the GitHub API, potentially affecting its reliability and functionality.

Minimalist Interface
Hacker News-cli offers a clean, minimalist interface that allows users to browse Hacker News content directly from their terminal, making it faster and less distracting than using a web browser.
Resource Efficiency
As a command-line tool, it consumes significantly fewer resources compared to loading a full web page, which is beneficial for users with older hardware or limited system resources.
Scriptability
Being a CLI tool, it can be easily integrated into scripts and workflows, allowing users to automate the retrieval and processing of Hacker News data.
Offline Access
Users can check downloaded content offline if they lose their internet connection, as the tool fetches stories and comments for offline reading.

Limited Feature Set
Hacker News-cli lacks some of the functionality of the full Hacker News website, such as the ability to post comments or upvote stories, which might limit its use for some users.
Text-Only Interface
The command-line interface is text-only, which means it can't display media or complex layouts some content might have when accessed through a web browser.
Learning Curve
Users unfamiliar with the command line might face a steep learning curve, which can be a barrier to entry for those not already comfortable with terminal commands.
Lack of Customization
Customization options might be limited compared to graphical interfaces where users can adjust themes, font sizes, and layout more flexibly.
