HackerTray
==========
HackerTray is a simple [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/) Linux application
that lets you view top HN stories in your System Tray. It relies on appindicator, so

it is not guaranteed to work on all systems. It also provides a StatusIcon fallback
but it has not been tested.

The inspiration for this came from [Hacker Bar](http://hackerbarapp.com), which is
Mac-only. I tried to port it to `node-webkit`, but had to do it in Python instead
because nw doesn't support AppIndicators yet.
