fmaida / feedreader-cli

A very simple RSS Feed reader that works from the CLI.

Feedreader-CLI

This is a very simple project, based upon the excellent feedparser library ( https://pypi.org/project/feedparser/ ). It allows a user to download an RSS or atom feed and show it on the terminal.

Feedreader adapts its output to the number of columns and rows that your terminal is actually capable of displaying. When it has used all the space available on the screen, it pauses and wait until the user press the ENTER key to continue, or q to quit.

System requirements

In order to use this app, you'll need to have a copy of Python 3.5 or above installed on your computer.

How to install this app

Install feedreader with the following command: python setup.py install
