What is Feedr?

Feedr is a feature-rich terminal-based RSS feed reader written in Rust. It provides a clean, intuitive TUI interface for managing and reading RSS feeds with elegant visuals and smooth keyboard navigation.

Features:

  • Dashboard View: See the latest articles across all your feeds, sorted chronologically
  • Feed Management: Subscribe to and organize multiple RSS/Atom feeds
  • Feed Auto-Discovery: Paste any webpage URL and Feedr will detect and offer to subscribe to its RSS/Atom feeds
  • Starred Articles: Save articles for later with a dedicated starred view
  • Categories: Organize feeds into custom categories with create, rename, and delete support
  • Tree View: Browse feeds in a hierarchical tree grouped by category
  • Advanced Filtering: Filter articles by category, age, author, read status, starred status, and content length
  • Dual Themes: Switch between a dark cyberpunk theme and a light zen theme with t
  • Live Search: Instantly search across all feed titles and article content
  • Summary View: "What's New" screen shows articles added since your last session with per-feed stats
  • Read/Unread Tracking: Persistent read state tracking across sessions
  • Mark All Read: Quickly mark all visible items as read with m
  • Article Preview: Toggle an inline preview pane in the dashboard view
  • Link Extraction: Extract and browse all links from an article with l
  • Full-Text Extraction: Strip away summaries and read the actual article content inline via Mozilla Readability — manual on Shift+F, or auto-extract on refresh per feed with fulltext = true
  • Help Overlay: Press ? for a scrollable keybinding reference overlay
  • OPML Import: Bulk import feeds from OPML files via feedr --import <file.opml>
  • Browser Integration: Open articles in your default browser
  • Mouse Support: Click to select items and scroll with the mouse wheel
  • Background Refresh: Automatic feed updates with configurable intervals and smart rate limiting
  • Rate Limiting: Per-domain request throttling prevents "too many requests" errors (ideal for Reddit feeds)
  • Vim-Style Navigation: Use j/k alongside arrow keys for navigation
  • Rich Content Display: HTML-to-text conversion with clean article formatting
  • Authenticated Feeds: Support for custom HTTP headers per feed (e.g., Authorization: Bearer ...) for private/authenticated RSS feeds
  • Compact Mode: Automatic compact layout for small terminals (=30 rows), with manual always/never override in config
  • CLI Config Management: Get, set, and list configuration from the command line (feedr config), or use the interactive TUI config editor (feedr config --tui)
  • Configurable Keybindings: Remap any key action via the [keybindings] section in config.toml
  • External-Command Hooks: Newsboat-style macros (pipe-to, exec) bound to keys, plus exec_on_new notifications fired per new item — all with shell-free argument templating
  • Configurable: Customize timeouts, themes, UI behavior, and default feeds via TOML config
