lidya
lidya is a dead simple, yet full-featured terminal rss reader. it is meant to be a fast newsboat clone without all the bell and wistles. on my connection two dozen feeds load in less than 3 seconds
installation
it should build with rust stable, but it is being tested with rust nightly (as of this writing version 1.45.0)
OR you can download a binary (x86_64, glibc, linux only for now) from here
$ cargo install --path .
before the first run create a directory in your config dir ($HOME/.config/ on
linux, %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming), name it lidya, add a few feed urls in
the file called urls in the following format, one per line
<url>,<feed title>,<command to open the url with>
drop the angle brackets. the feed title and the command are optional
how to use
j, k; down, up - down, up
d - mark as read, don't open
A - mark everything as read
o - open url in your default browser
R - refresh feeds and remove read articles from the screen
r - remove read articles, don't refresh
q, esc - quit
c - copy current link to clipboard
you can comment out single feeds by prepending their urls with a pound sign ("#")
you can also name your feeds, put a space after a feed url, then a title
knows issues
- if a url has a comma in it, lidya will think that what follows it is a title
- macos terminal displays a zero-width space the same as the regular space (width of 1)
