==========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
