The app runs locally, uses the user's existing CLI subscription, and is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux under the MIT license.", "body_md": "A decent HN post can have 800 comments hanging off a 4,000 word article. Somewhere in there are the four things worth knowing, and the only way to find them is to read the lot.\n\nRundown gives you the short version: what the article says, what the thread argued with it about, and a chat you can point at either. Every quote keeps the comment it came from and gets checked against the thread first, so you can go and read the real thing when it matters.\n\nIt runs on the `claude`\n\nor `codex`\n\nCLI you already have installed, so it uses the\nsubscription you are signed in to. Nothing is stored anywhere but your own machine.\n\n**Briefing**: article and thread as one account, at three reading depths** Digest**: the discussion as an outline, each point backed by quotes** Chat**: ask about the thread; it is already loaded** Library**: search what you have read, or synthesise several threads at once** Reader**: the linked article as clean markdown\n\n[Download the latest release](https://github.com/nilbuild/rundown/releases/latest) —\na universal `.dmg`\n\non macOS, an installer on Windows, `.AppImage`\n\nor `.deb`\n\non Linux.\nIt updates itself after that.\n\nNeeds [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) or the\n[Codex CLI](https://developers.openai.com/codex/cli) installed and signed in.\n\n```\npnpm install\npnpm tauri dev      # run\npnpm tauri build    # build the app\n```\n\n[MIT](/nilbuild/rundown/blob/main/LICENSE) © Kamran Ahmed", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-hacker-news-client-with-claude-code-and-codex-integration", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/nilbuild/rundown", "published_at": "2026-08-28 19:55:47+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-28 20:18:55.856470+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools", "artificial-intelligence"], "entities": ["Kamran Ahmed", "Claude Code", "Codex CLI", "Anthropic", "OpenAI", "Rundown", "Hacker News"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-hacker-news-client-with-claude-code-and-codex-integration", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-hacker-news-client-with-claude-code-and-codex-integration.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-hacker-news-client-with-claude-code-and-codex-integration.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-hacker-news-client-with-claude-code-and-codex-integration.jsonld"}}
