HackerTray

HackerTray is a simple Hacker News 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, 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

##To-Do

  • Auto Start
  • Convert to a Python Module
  • Try to convert right click to comments link
