Description

eilmeldung is a TUI RSS reader based on the awesome news-flash library.

  • fast in every aspect: non-blocking terminal user interface, (neo)vim-inspired keybindings, instant start-up and no clutter
  • stands on the shoulder of giants: based on the news-flash library, eilmeldung supports many RSS providers, is efficient and reliable
  • powerful and yet easy to use out-of-the-box: sane defaults which work for most, and yet configurable to meet anyone's requirements, from keybindings to colors, from displayed content to RSS provider
  • read news like a pro: filter and search news with an easy-to-learn powerful query language, activate zen mode to focus on the article content and nothing else

eilmeldung is German for breaking news
