159
+ The default settings match my HN reader on my [personal website](https://brianlovin.com/hn). I made these choices so that it's easier for me to keep up with the most interesting stories throughout the day without getting sucked too deep into long comment threads or the flood of new submissions.
160
+
161
+ All defaults are now customizable via the settings panel (`s`).
162
+
163
+ ## Telemetry
164
+
165
+ This CLI collects anonymous usage data to help understand how people use it and what features to improve. No personal information or content is ever collected.

122
- - Only shows posts from the last 24 hours
123
- - Only shows "link" type posts (excludes jobs, polls)
124
- - Requires minimum story engagement: 50+ points OR 20+ comments
125
- - Ranked by: points + (comments × 0.75) + recency bonus
126
- - Maximum 24 posts displayed
127
- - Comments: max 12 root comments, max 8 children per parent, max 3 levels deep

169
+ - App launches (with version number)

171
+ - Navigation patterns (stories selected, comments viewed)
172
+ - Keyboard shortcut usage
173
+
174
+ ### What's NOT collected
175
+
176
+ - Story content, titles, or URLs
177
+ - Chat messages or AI responses
178
+ - API keys or credentials
179
+ - IP addresses or location data

+ ### Disabling telemetry
182
+
183
+ **Option 1: Settings menu**
184
+
185
+ Press `s` to open settings, then toggle "Telemetry" off.
186
+
187
+ **Option 2: Launch flag**
188
+
189
+ ```bash
190
+ hn --disable-telemetry
191
+ ```
130
192
 
131
- If you want your version of this tool to work differently, feel free to clone or consider opening a PR with more advanced settings to let people customize the default experience.
193
+ This permanently disables telemetry. Your preference is stored locally at `~/.config/hn-cli/config.json`.
