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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
##Features
|
||||
1. Minimalist Approach to HN
|
||||
2. Opens links in your default browser
|
||||
3. Remembers which links you opened
|
||||
4. Shows Points/Comment count in a simple format
|
||||
5.
|
||||
|
||||
##To-Do
|
||||
- Reload data every 5 minutes
|
||||
- Implement a way to remember which stories have been read
|
||||
- Ideally app-memory should be persistent (save on disk)
|
||||
- Auto Start
|
||||
- Convert to a Python Module
|
||||
- Add a menu separator between news and preferences.
