Feedr v0.8.0 – a TUI RSS reader, now read the full article from your terminal (github.com) 59 points by bahdotshxx 2mo ago ↗ HN
[–] trvz 2mo ago ↗ RSS readers are immensely helpful to also interact with image (such as web comics) and video (Youtube channels) feeds.Alas, a terminal interface is a decisively bad choice for that.
[–] jwr 2mo ago ↗ I used to read USENET news in text terminals on X11 systems, and on 3270 terminals before that. It's amusing how we're coming full circle.
[–] cosmotic 2mo ago ↗ Terminal seems like an odd choice for a platform to read on, considering the fixed-width characters.
[–] oDot 2mo ago ↗ TUIs are so nice.Please consider using Trolley to package this for non-technical users:https://github.com/weedonandscott/trolley
[–] exiguus 2mo ago ↗ Will it also have client functionality to support reader like miniflux or tiny tiny rss, like in newsboat?
[–] TwoNineFive 2mo ago ↗ There is an old Android app named "Feedr". Many people still use it, even though it's not listed on the Play Store anymore. Not to mention "Feeder".Nobody is going to be able to find this by name when you have such a generic one.
