RSS Reader Extreme: NewsBeuter a Mutt-like Feedreader
February 17th, 2009
You read RSS Feeds right? Well, if you don't know what RSS or ATOM Feeds are then maybe you should check out the Wikipedia pages first.
I don't know what kind of feedreaders you use, but I liked for some time liferea. That was rather a hate/love relationship because I was never really fond of the need of using my mouse to read something. This is were NewsBeuter comes into play.
Its a feedreader which follows the Mutt-like philosophy and allows you to quickly skim through your feeds hitting only ``n'' on your keyboard everything on a curses based CLI. This thing is pretty feature complete (version 1.3+) and it is good enough for painless reading experience, heck you can even use tagging and advanced search functions.
(Screencast of v0.2)
Debian GNU/Linux currently has the 1.3-1 binary into their package repo so there is no need to build that thing for yourself. (its easy though).
Oh, did I forget you can pipe the feeds into your own scripts to change the content/markup to your own needs? Nice, no more website loading :)
Seriously, if you wanted to increase your productivity - go check it out.
