An ncurses based client for Feedly.
- Vim-like bindings for scrolling through posts
- Quick preview as you look at posts
- Able to open post link with w3m or your default browser
- Configurable colors
- Also includes an external log for debugging
Note: Feednix requires C++11 support so you must build it with gcc 4.7 or higher
Thank you @chrisjohnston for mentioning the following dependencies for Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf libjsoncpp-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libncursesw5-dev
Thank you @bandb42 for mentioning the following dependencies for Fedora:
sudo yum install dh-autoreconf ncursesw-devel jsoncpp-devel libcurl-devel
Note: If you are using Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint or you are getting an error during build, please use the Ubuntu-stable branch instead of the main.
First run autogen.sh script.
Then run your standard make commands. Here is a one liner:
./configure && make && sudo make install
Due to the fact that this is open source, the administrators at Feedly have asked me to use their developer tokens instead of giving me a client secret. To explain, if I were to use a client secret I would need to distribute it along with the source code. This is an obvious security risk and I am going to keep this project open source, hence this new method.
Unfortunatley, as of now, the Developer tokens have an expiration of three months. This means that you must create a new one every three months.
I have modified Feednix to help you with this. IT CANNOT DO THIS AUTOMATICALLY since developer tokens involve sending you an email to retrive them.
In addition, becuase it is using the Dev Tokens, it is thus using the Sandbox. This means that there is a rate limiting to the amount of requests that Feednix can make. If you use Feednix rarely you will probably be fine. If you use it often, however, you should consider disabling a few features to minimize the amount of requests. This includes having this in your config file:
- markReadWhileScrolling : false
- enablePersistentCount : false
- q : Exit
- Vim Key mappings for navigation (j,k)
- Tab : Switch between Posts and Categories Pane
- Enter : open post preview
- o (lower case) : Open post link in console (currently using w3m)
- O (upwer case) : Open post link in Browser (user default)
- r : Mark post read
- u : Mark post unread
- A : mark all posts read
- R : Refresh category
- = : Change sort type
- Enter : Fetch Stream (Retrieve post by category)
- A : Mark category read
- R : Refersh highlighted category (Retrive post by category)
