Would you be able to add instructions for a source install? That would help alleviate issues with the package not showing up in various repos.
Updated the readme now.

Even if it's obvious: I was missing a "How to use" section in the README that demonstrates how this tool can be invoked.
EDIT: Ok, there's something in the "Working with STDIN and STDOUT" section. But TBH I'd find it more helpful to have the different use cases collected at the top. To me it wasn't even clear how the command is called.
Thanks for the feedback! Good idea to showcase the use cases earlier and clearer.

Same for me - Debian 10
Sorry about that! The debian packages are a bit outside my control, but `cargo install tailspin` should do the trick. I might need to remove it from the readme if people aren't able to install that way.

Any chance you could make it possible to have Circumflex open a HN link? A popup/input to paste a URL into or command line parameter that takes a URL argument? I often discover submissions via Google and would love to be able to view them in Circumflex.
clx -u --url OR clx -l --link
You can do this from the command line with `clx view [id]`. This was in the readme before, but I seem to have removed it when I last restructured the page. If you want to read the article in reader mode it is `clx read [id]`.

Looks very cool... But it doesn't seem to be getting/displaying any of the comments. Anything I press <enter> on always gives me 0 comments 0 points
I installed using brew on linux mint. The "correct" version of less seems to be in the path
~$ less --version
less 608 (PCRE2 regular expressions)

I like using 3rd party HN tools and was thinking to try terminal clients.
From the top of my head this is my personal list of minimum requirements such an app would have to support:
1. Text search within all of comments in a thread.
2. Easy command collapse/expand workflow when viewing threads.
Glancing through the doc it seems that this app doesn't (yet) support either of these requirements, is this correct?
1. The cool thing about using `less` as the pager is everything you get out of the box, including search. Search from within less with `/`.
2. You can collapse / expand the comment section with h/l or left arrow and right arrow. The limitation to this is that it is not possible to collapse specific threads / replies, only all replies at once.

Looking in the raw Markdown file, I see the shadowing is not done with CSS, it's included in the PNG image with transparency.
This actually comes out of the box for the system screenshot tool in macOS (Cmd + Shift + 4 and then Space to select window). The screenshot of the window will then have this shadowing around it.
