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.
