What does this thing do?

  It's an RSS feed reader. It.... reads RSS feeds.

Looks like this is a command line RSS reader system(?)...

Looks nice. How do you present the content for users to read? Do you use a terminal based HTML browser, or convert the content to plain text and present the plain text?

  I have a small babashka script to pull some news from my terminal and I have had good result doing something like this: curl article-url | readable | w3m -T text/html Where readable is https://www.npmjs.com/package/readability-cli https://www.npmjs.com/package/readability-cli

Glad to see more CLI based RSS readers! Currently I'm using Newsboat (an actively maintained fork of Newsbeuter, written in C++ and in the process of migrating to Rust). Assuming that you're familiar with it, do you have any different design objectives?

Give it a maildir output option and it will be much more useful. Such tools already exist but the more options the better.

  One could also build a FUSE file system that represents each post as a file and mount that.

Nice work! Love it.

I'd love a cli like this for miniflux.app

This is pretty cool. I'm personally not into TUI's for everything, but I totally get their appeal. Does anyone know of a rss reader that presents multiple feeds in columns like tweetdeck by chance? I dream of a dashboard of rss feeds.

  I've made exactly that! https://rssdeck.com https://rssdeck.com is in private beta with some functionality still closed off. Register and I'll activate your account.

An OPML[0] importer, or even better, a native handling of an OPML URL/file in the [feeds] configuration section would be extremely useful. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPML
- jafarlihi 4y ago
  OPML support added.

feed2exec is my favourite RSS related thing; https://gitlab.com/anarcat/feed2exec/ https://gitlab.com/anarcat/feed2exec/

Well， we wanna use Rssnix in our product, will that be possible? Here is the link:https://github.com/illacloud/illa-builder https://github.com/illacloud/illa-builder

  Sure, go ahead, just remember to attribute.

  You need Go 1.19

    Adding that to the README would be a good idea.

I have used rss2email for ages (https://github.com/wking/rss2email https://github.com/wking/rss2email) for all my RSS feeds. That way I can use an optimal UI (to me) which is email (mutt) to read all my content.

I like the simplicity of this. The source code is small, so one can easily change it as one needs and looks like other people have posted links to similar projects. Really appreciate this and the thread.

Why have all major browsers removed RSS aggregation? I miss that feature
- jason0597 4y ago
  Because it means less eyeballs on the front page, hence less ad revenue

Might be nice if you can run any script as the "viewer", and set it to do different things for different sections of the config file. So then you could open youtube rss feed items with mpv or youtube-dl, download podcast mp3 files instead of first reading what it's about, etc. With newsboat the scripting always feels a bit icky, even with something like Luke Smith his "linkhandler" script.
anonymousnotme 4y ago
I found a bug in vim/neovim. if the file name is approximately 33 characters long. When one opens one of the feed directories in vim, neovim and tries to open that file, it fails. For me, there need to be 2 spaces between the file name and the file size or other part of the directory listing when I do "gvim ." for current directory. I use default listing style of 1 for long listing.
- anonymousnotme 4y ago
  One can hit i to change the style, so of the other styles will work.
