**Features**

* Modular, "daemon" + ctl

* Daemon can watch for regexes in stories and trigger notifications (currently broken on OSX) or do any other type of work

### Install

```shell

$ make install

```

### Usage

1. Start the daemon

2. Use the command line interface

```shell

# Start the daemon

$ hnd

# OR start the daemon with a config file (see example config file)

$ hnd --config hn/hn.conf

# Use the command line interface

$ hnctl

ctl >

ctl > top               # show top stories

ctl > new               # show new stories

ctl > ask               # show ask stories

ctl > jobs              # show jobs stories

ctl > show              # show "show hn" stories

ctl > ping              # ping HN site

ctl > open 1            # open story <1> in browser

ctl > user pg           # show user 

ctl > help              # show help

ctl > help user         # show help for command 

ctl > quit              # quit

# You can also invoke a command directly w/o the loop

$ hnctl top

$ hnctl open 1

```
