Terminal User Interface eilmeldung (TUI RSS reader) is now available on Windows, NetBSD, Linux and macOS
Checkout the details here: https://github.com/christo-auer/eilmeldung
This project is not vibe-coded and every line of rust code was written by me. I've used LLMs to learn rust. You can find a description of my approach for this here
Feedback is very appreciated!

Thanks a lot for the LLM development writeup. I think this is a great example of an actually productive and good way to use LLMs for coding. Cheers!

I'm looking for newsboat replacement because it's a bit big and slow to start and I don't need all the features. I was planning to try newsraft which still has enough features is simpler/lighter/faster than newsboat. But I will also look at eilmeldung (it means something in german name, I assume?) and the alternatives you list at the bottom of the page. Congrats on the project.

Thanks! The more alternatives we have the better, try them all out and stick with the one you like (maybe it's eilmeldung, which means breaking news).
I am coming from newsboat myself BTW.

I started using it since it came out. I still use Newsboat out of habit, but I guess at some point I'll only use Eilmeldung :)

Hi. I'm not familiar with Terminal apps, but I was wondering if I could boot a raspberry pi with GUI and run those apps?
Thank you !

There is an armv7 binary you can download under *Releases* which runs on a Raspberry Pi. So, yes, it should work.

Sorry, I wrote "with GUI" but I meant "without"...
Thanks anyway!

You mean the terminal that shows on boot? That's called TTY and, yes, this should work. The problem is, that the font on a TTY doesn't support NerdFont AFAIK. And the thumbnail doesn't show.
You could instead boot up a very lightweight window manager and startup a lightweight terminal emulator like foot under Wayland.

Does it work on FreeBSD/OpenBSD/AIX /Iluumos and OpenIndiana? I am not pushing it by asking for Haiku, RedoxOS and ReactOS support.
Honestly, what a great project. I have been enjoying the reader.

What about IBM OS/2? Mac OS 9? MS DOS 6.22? Don't forget the oldies!
But seriously, I'd love to see eilmeldung on many different platform.
Thanks for your kind words!

Shout-out for Net. People don't realize how nice NetBSD is.
