Generate a webpage from a collection of feeds wtih a simple CLI tool - TheBigRoomXXL/tinyfeed

tinyfeed is a CLI tool that generate a webpage from a collection of feeds. It’s dead simple, no database, no config file, just a CLI and some HTML

This release continue the process of refining tinyfeed with small new features, never any breaking changes and better documentation!

On the menue today :

  • Better pagination: new --order-by flag to easily customize feed item ordering by publication date, update date, feed name and author.
  • OPML Support: added a built-in OPML template to export you feed collection.
  • UX Improvements: refined warning message and usage formulations for better clarity.
  • New Guides: expanded the documentation site with new, dedicated pages for Configuration (lot’s of examples!) and OPML export.

      Short answer is no. Long answer is you can add it by scripting. It’s not easy if you are not a developer but you can open an issue on GitHub if you need any help.

    This looks awesome, definitely gonna try this out! Any plans to add images/thumbnails? Looks like gofeed already returns them.

      I don’t plan on adding thumbnails, as they go against my initial vision for tinyfeed as a text-first UI like lobste.rs. However! one of tinyfeed’s core tenets is flexibility and customization, so if you want thumbnails, you can simply create your own template. If you need help you can open an issue, I would gladly help.

        I got it working, thanks! I think I found a minor bug though. I could only get the --template flag to work when the file is in the current working directory. Subdirectories and absolute directories didn’t work. I worked around this by simply cding into where my template was stored before running tinyfeed.

        Even tinyfeed -i feeds.txt -o index.html -t ./template.html (with ./) results in:

        fail to output HTML: fail to render HTML template: template: "./template.html" is an incomplete or empty template

      Mostly no AI. I use it to review doc because I make a lot of typo / spelling error as English is not my first language. Recently I also used it to accelerate writing test cases but that’s all.

      This is not a recent or “fast” projet, I have been slowly improving it for 3 years now :-D

        This is the kind of nuanced usage of AI I like to see. Some would argue it’s not ideal to use any AI at all, and I agree, but we don’t live in an ideal world and I think this is realistically fine. AI writes better tests and docs than the ones I never write. Sure, maybe they’re not great objectively speaking, but they’re not worse than nothing. It’s better at keeping them up to date than I am too. Which is also probably not great, but strictly better than me.
