RSS feeds that don't suck on terminals

2025-04-05

RSS news in the terminal

I'm building a list of RSS feeds that work in the terminal. There are a lot of feeds out there but not all of the linked articles display well.

Basically it's a question of whether the page linked in the RSS feed is displayed well in a text browser, which isn't always the case. I find the Chawan text browser gives the best web display in general and includes images, so I'm using it as a benchmark.

It's always possible to use rdrview to pre-format the text before sending to cha, with browser "rdrview -B cha %u" in .newsboat/config, but this removes the images.

This is an ongoing task so it will probably end up as a static page

The list so far:
