tinyfeed is a CLI tool that generate a webpage from a collection of feeds. It’s dead simple, no database, no config file, just a CLI and some HTML
This release continue the process of refining tinyfeed with small new features, never any breaking changes and better documentation!
On the menue today :
- Better pagination: new
--order-byflag to easily customize feed item ordering by publication date, update date, feed name and author. - OPML Support: added a built-in OPML template to export you feed collection.
- UX Improvements: refined warning message and usage formulations for better clarity.
- New Guides: expanded the documentation site with new, dedicated pages for Configuration (lot’s of examples!) and OPML export.
Mostly no AI. I use it to review doc because I make a lot of typo / spelling error as English is not my first language. Recently I also used it to accelerate writing test cases but that’s all.
This is not a recent or “fast” projet, I have been slowly improving it for 3 years now :-D
This is the kind of nuanced usage of AI I like to see. Some would argue it’s not ideal to use any AI at all, and I agree, but we don’t live in an ideal world and I think this is realistically fine. AI writes better tests and docs than the ones I never write. Sure, maybe they’re not great objectively speaking, but they’re not worse than nothing. It’s better at keeping them up to date than I am too. Which is also probably not great, but strictly better than me.
I have no right to suggest this or ask it but I was thinking this would be cool to integrate into a home assistant dashboard and then I realized what would be really cool is a web server of sorts that you can program up an RSS feed in, and the system will refresh the feed at whatever interval and on the back end an agent would go to the whatever the source is, let’s use Reddit as an example. Takes the posts photo and content as well as summaries of top comments and parses them and then puts the content in its own system with a deep link to the original Reddit post if you need it or want it. Then the front end would show the items as a carousel of content with image thumbnails and titles and small content description and date and time posted. That way you can quickly see through content either on your phone or a smart dashboard without ever going to native pages or applications.
Sorry I’m high and also can’t program my own shit cause I’m a regard
Use Harper, instead. It runs locally, and gives nearly instant results.
