hackertalk
==========

Get HN discussion for the current URL, in a CLI.

# why?

When reading an article online, I sometimes feel that the discussion on HN is much more interesting than the article itself.

# what's this?

hackertalk will take the url that you give it, and search via the awesome [hn.algolia.com]
(http://hn.algolia.com) and try to give you the submissions, on a CLI.

# installation
```sh
$ npm install hackertalk -g
```

# usage
```sh
$ htalk [--lucky]
```

If you provide `--lucky` as last argument, it'll open the first suitable match.

# demo?

# search whole of HN
This was uninteded, but if you want to search with keywords, you can do it like:

```sh
$ htalk "multiple monitor productivity"
```
