* 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 
**** voting 
***** registration 
required to comment (?) 
***** search
by popularity, date. I find it effective. 
***** 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  
***** user karma
- users have karma
- user post/comment history can be seen by clicking on their profile. 
***** voting 
regiistration required
min karma required for downvoting (comments only?) 
***** sort algorithms (see note below) 
- posts sorted by ratio of upvotes / newness / user karma / voodoo 
***** user control of search / sort options 
- users can view HN sorted view, chrono posts, chrono comments, (?) 
***** '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.
