Refresh shortcut

Hi,

Thanks. Really nice program. It would be nice to have a refresh feature, maybe with "r" key.

That would be nice! 👍
Or a live-refresh with resorting and red/green indicators which topic gain interest

Hey @nrosvall, thanks for the feedback. A refresh feature would be helpful indeed.

I already have a working version of it under feat/refresh if you want to take a look. It already allow you to refresh the stories by hitting r but it doesn't give you a visual feedback yet. I'm working on it, maybe a label on the footer of the table would do it.

If you want to try this feature while it's under development:

# Clone this repository
$ git clone git@github.com:rafaelrinaldi/hn-cli.git
# Go to the feature branch
$ cd hn-cli && git checkout feat/refresh
# Link the binary to your /usr/local
$ npm link

Thanks!

@nrosvall I've played with the idea of a status bar UI. It displays your progress on the list and also when you refresh the list it will show the last update date.

Check the screen recording:

What do you think?

@nrosvall Sweet. I will make a few tweaks and it publish a new release with this feature soon.

Thanks for your feedback.
