There are so many projects out there, it's hard to avoid naming collisions. I don't think a project with 10 stars can lay exclusive claim to a four letter name.

#4At least a screenshot is there but maybe provide a bit more details.. I really don't get why people show off projects with zero description. Sure it's an rss reader but what features does it actually offer?
E.g. I see "make build_macos" and wonder if other platforms are supported? I don't want to have to find out myself that it does not support linux.

the makefile in the repo shows that there's a "build_linux" command so you could just use "make build_linux" instead.

There are already many RSS readers with this name:
https://github.com/channikhabra/yarr
https://fossdroid.com/a/yarr.html
etc. The name sounded familiar (I think I used one in the past) so I googled and I haven't found it, but I did find many others.

Since it's yet another RSS reader, it supports the basic functionality of almost all the other alternatives (managing feeds, reading, importing/exporting, searching etc.).
The plans are to support all 3 platforms (Linux, Windows, MacOS). You can try compiling it via `make build_linux` & `make build_windows` on the corresponding platforms.

#9Glad to see people still making new ways to absorb via rss - I still feel it's the best method for getting news and things, and the more options we have to show others how they can be used - maybe the better.
Wonder if anyone has made a self-hosted way to create a 'my.yahoo' or netvibes , pageflakes kind of page with rss feeds?
I started to put together some plugins for wordpress/buddpress to allow people to make something like that for their own, but got bogged down and never tried to mash it all together yet.
Anyone have a browser extension that can find rss feeds for pages?
I long for the days of yesteryears where yahoo news searches had an rss button or link to copy right there - and discovering rss on news portals and elsewhere was easier not hidden.

#10Always great to see more RSS readers. Are you thinking about making it API compatible with others so people can use any of the existing apps?
I'm currently using https://github.com/miniflux/miniflux (Also written in Go) and it supports the Fever API which means I can use any app on most platforms to sync with.
