Feedr v0.8.0 – a TUI RSS reader, now read the full article from your terminal
57 points by bahdotshxx
- 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.
- 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.
- Will it also have client functionality to support reader like miniflux or tiny tiny rss, like in newsboat?
- Terminal seems like an odd choice for a platform to read on, considering the fixed-width characters.
- TUIs are so nice.
Please consider using Trolley to package this for non-technical users:

- Does it use ffmpeg to render inline images to ASCII?
