This is pretty cool. I'm personally not into TUI's for everything, but I totally get their appeal. Does anyone know of a rss reader that presents multiple feeds in columns like tweetdeck by chance? I dream of a dashboard of rss feeds.

I've made exactly that! https://rssdeck.com is in private beta with some functionality still closed off. Register and I'll activate your account.

The "go install" part of the installation instructions results in this error: $ git clone https://github.com/jafarlihi/rssnix --depth=1 && cd rssnix && go install Cloning into 'rssnix'... remote: Enumerating objects: 10, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (10/10), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (8/8), done. remote: Total 10 (delta 1), reused 4 (delta 1), pack-reused 0 Unpacking objects: 100% (10/10), done.…

You need Go 1.19

Adding that to the README would be a good idea.

Might be nice if you can run any script as the "viewer", and set it to do different things for different sections of the config file. So then you could open youtube rss feed items with mpv or youtube-dl, download podcast mp3 files instead of first reading what it's about, etc.

With newsboat the scripting always feels a bit icky, even with something like Luke Smith his "linkhandler" script.

I found a bug in vim/neovim. if the file name is approximately 33 characters long. When one opens one of the feed directories in vim, neovim and tries to open that file, it fails. For me, there need to be 2 spaces between the file name and the file size or other part of the directory listing when I do "gvim ." for current directory. I use default listing style of 1 for long listing.

One can hit i to change the style, so of the other styles will work.
