Sorry, but I'm not impressed. It's yet another LL-TL-BC (see http://www.zedshaw.com/essays/i_want_the_mutt_of_feed_reader...) RSS reader, and even one without built-in OPML import.

EmacsWiki [1] mentions "newsticker-opml-import". But I haven't used NewsTicker, so can't say if it is still true.

That's a brilliant article you linked to, I do enjoy Zed Shaw's style. However, that's not going to stop me from trying this out, because Emacs.

I suggested it to Zed back when he wrote this, and I still suggest it today: just use mutt and an rss to email gateway.

(Loved this essay though, thanks for bringing it back!)

Usenet solved the rss reader problem decades ago. Gnus takes all that experience and applies it to feed sorting/reading. Manual scoring, adaptive scoring, group scoring, topics, virtual groups. And for extra points, load up your favorite feeds in gmane.org and browse rss over nntp.
