We Moved to Gitawonk

====================

https://gitawonk.com/dickmao/nnhackernews.git

Git paid, not played.

Install

=======

We are trying to push ELPASO_ as the preferred package installer.  Alternatively, directly clone this repo and ``make install``.

Usage

=====

In your ``.emacs`` or ``init.el``, use ONE of the following:

::

   ;; Applies to first-time Gnus users

   (custom-set-variables '(gnus-select-method (quote (nnhackernews ""))))

or, if you're an existing Gnus user,

::

   ;; Applies to existing Gnus users

   (add-to-list 'gnus-secondary-select-methods '(nnhackernews ""))

Then ``M-x gnus``.

Enter the ``nnhackernews:news`` newsgroup with ``RET``.

Gnus will only show followup comments for threads you read, so be selective.  If you accidentally read a thread, or decide the thread is uninteresting, you may ``C-k`` it to prevent Gnus from showing followups.  Use ``C-k`` liberally.

The signal-to-noise of the hackernews firehose is such that I often "catch-up" via ``c`` to flush the unread threads.

Create a post via ``a``.

Reply to articles with ``f`` or ``r``.  Include original with ``F``.

Vote articles by ``R =`` (up), or ``R 0`` (retract).

From the ``*Group*`` buffer, press ``g`` to refresh all groups.  ``M-g`` on a particular group to refresh individually.

From the summary buffer, ``/o`` redisplays articles already read.  ``x`` undisplays them.

``S c`` cancels articles.

Gnus beginners may find the interface bewildering.  In particular, groups with no unread articles do not display.  Use ``L`` to bring them out of hiding.
