## Historique du projet et usages

circumflex is a Go terminal user interface for browsing Hacker News through the clx binary, with article reader mode, comment navigation, favorites, read history, themes, and vim-style keybindings.

### Historique du projet

The official repository was created in July 2020. The README describes a read-only Hacker News client that brings stories, comments, and article reader mode into a terminal interface.

The project has continued regular tagged releases through 4.4, which Homebrew packages from the official GitHub tag.

### Historique d'adoption

The README documents Homebrew, Nix, AUR, Go install, and source-run installation paths. Homebrew's formula builds the Go binary as clx and installs manpages plus shell completions for bash, zsh, and fish.

Homebrew analytics show moderate ongoing use for a terminal news reader, and the GitHub repository has visible interest for a focused TUI utility.

### Modes d'utilisation

Users run clx to browse Hacker News categories such as top, best, new, ask, show, and favorites; open comments; read linked articles in reader mode; mark or track read stories; and store favorites locally. The README states that circumflex is read-only and does not support logging in, voting, or commenting.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

circumflex is a polished example of the modern Go TUI package: a single binary with manpage and shell-completion artifacts, Homebrew/Nix/AUR/Go install routes, XDG-style config/cache paths, and local JSON state files.
