+Hacker News Clone - CLI Version
+===============================
+
+README
+------
+
+The MVP of this project is a clone of <https://news.ycombinator.com> but
+in CLI. A user should be able to log in from the command line and be
+presented with a list of stories, along with a 'menu bar' that has the
+options in HN: news, comments, ask, show, jobs, submit (we will likely
+not use all of these options, but let's keep it as a clone for now).
+
+TODOs

+notes

+
+### features
+
+1.  voting
+
+    1.  registration
+
+        required to comment (?)
+
+    2.  search
+
+        by popularity, date. I find it effective.
+
+    3.  threaded collapsible comments
+
+        -   All threads threaded and collapsible. maxed by default. each
+            can be minimized individually, collapsing all
+            contained comments.
+        -   main threads sorted by quality, replies chronological (?),
+        -   poor quality comments remain visible but dimmed according to
+            how downvoted
+
+    4.  user karma
+
+        -   users have karma
+        -   user post/comment history can be seen by clicking on
+            their profile.
+
+    5.  voting
+
+        regiistration required min karma required for downvoting
+        (comments only?)
+
+    6.  sort algorithms (see note below)
+
+        -   posts sorted by ratio of upvotes / newness / user karma /
+            voodoo
+
+    7.  user control of search / sort options
+
+        -   users can view HN sorted view, chrono posts, chrono
+            comments, (?)
+
+    8.  'dead' (shadowbanned) profiles
+
+        These are profiles where the user doesn't know they are
+        'shadowbanned', so they continue to post but can't tell that no
+        one else can see it.
+
+        -   [explicit
+            rules](https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and
+            culture to encourage / discourage certain content
+
+### User Stories
+
+1.  MVP
+
+    -   landing page has a list of articles
+    -   submit a story by pasting a link
+
+2.  logging in
