Well, here is another one of my apps that will fail and fall of the face of the earth, but whatever I find it usefull. This is just a draft (I may rewrite it in Java for a school project if I cant find a better idea) of what I am calling leak.
leak - leaking extraordinary aggregated knowledge
(The name came before the acronym but CLI apps must have acronyms)
Description - Leak is a very basic, very simple, not very fast, command line rss aggregator writteb in python. It probably isn't the best choice but if your goal is simply to read some feeds then it is pretty good.
Usage - Some of this isnt found in the -h command
-u url sets a url to aggregate data from, you can make a list like this [url1, url2, etc]
-i number goes directly to the posts you specified (only works for one url currently) same listing abilities as -u
If you give no arguments it will look in your .leakrc file
after each post you can do the following.
q quits the program
c or return goes to next item in feed
g opens the item in your webbrowser
n goes to the next feed (url)
Their is also a .leakrc, but unfortuantly you have to make it yourself currently, because I didnt make a installation script yet. If this is popular enough i'll make a setup.py.
To install the .leakrc
1) Take the leakrc I packaged with the file and edit it to your liking. The syntax is simple
2) Move it to your home directory and rename it to .leakrc
If you need any help just ask
Have fun!
Oh and it requires python-feedparser (sudo apt-get install feedparser)
