dashboard-feeds

A small terminal application that fetches a list of RSS and Atom feeds. It is designed for dashboard-style layouts, so it elegantly wraps lines on narrow panes. It also embeds feed item links on terminals that support it.

Usage

Create a config file at ~/.config/dashboard-feeds/config.kdl with a list of URLs like this:

feeds {
  url "https://blog.rust-lang.org/feed.xml"
  url "https://archlinux.org/feeds/news/"
}

Then run the program. You can add the --limit option (-n for short) to limit the number of returned posts.

$ dashboard-feeds -n 5
