This is so cool. Combined with RSS for channel subscriptions, I won't even have to go to the site and get a properly manageable window. Now I just need to figure out how to get newsbeuter to use specific commands based on the url.

And on Android there's a free software app that implements a similar thing (without needing any proprietary libraries), and actually is much better than the official app. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe

  I've used it a while and can confirm its great featureset (backgrounding, no ads, downloading) ... one issue is no subscription feature in-app. I don't want to play around with RSS

    They're working on it, the plan is to fake subscription by subscribing to channel RSS feeds. https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/620 https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/pull/620

.newsbeuter/config has a "browser" command where you can give arbitrary a shell command where %u is the URL, you could give it your own script that matches on the URL. For example, mine is 'browser "urxvt -e elinks %u"'.
