Hackgregator FOR LINUX

If you're a tech junkie, then you surely know about Hacker News. Created by Paul Graham in early 2007, Hacker News (HN for short) is a social news website that goes beyond computer science, technology, and everything-tech-entrepreneurship-related. Sporting a somewhat stripped-down GUI with next to no bloat and ads, Hacker News is one of the fastest news websites out there. Still, it does require you to open up a web browser in order to access it, unless, you get a desktop reader app.

Features:

• Free and open-source Hacker News reader GTK4 app for Linux


• Written in Rust and uses libadwaita


• Simple and fast user interface


• Choose between different Hacker News feed categories


• Read posts and view comments within the app

Specifications:

• App Name: Hackgregator FOR LINUX


• Price: Free


• Developer: Günther Wagner


• File: de.gunibert.Hackgregator


• Platform: Linux

Hackgregator may not be the most impressive reader app out there, but it gets the job done. It provides a quick and easy way of viewing Hacker News content from the comforts of the desktop, reading posts, and checking out the comments from each post, and not much else. The app seems to also have a Preferences section, but we couldn't access it for some reason (either the section is currently under development, or we encountered a strange compatibility issue between the app and our system's desktop environment).
