Feedspool

Les Orchard made a thing, Feedspool, that works as a CLI interface for managing/reading RSS feeds. It uses sqlite and has a bunch of fun features. One of them is the ability to render a static web page with posts from recently-updated feeds and a built in web server to view it.

I made a simple shell script that updates and opens the rendered page.

#!/bin/sh

./feedspool fetch
./feedspool render
open http://localhost:8888

I’m pretty content with Elfeed in Emacs, but Feedspool is an interesting take.
