tinyfeed is a CLI tool that generate a webpage from a collection of feeds. It's dead simple, no database, no config file, just a CLI and some HTML

This release continue the process of refining tinyfeed with small new features, never any breaking changes and better documentation!

On the menue today :

Better pagination: new --order-by flag to easily customize feed item ordering by publication date, update date, feed name and author.
OPML Support: added a built-in OPML template to export you feed collection.
UX Improvements: refined warning message and usage formulations for better clarity.
New Guides: expanded the documentation site with new, dedicated pages for Configuration (lot's of examples!) and OPML export.

I don’t plan on adding thumbnails, as they go against my initial vision for tinyfeed as a text-first UI like lobste.rs. However! one of tinyfeed’s core tenets is flexibility and customization, so if you want thumbnails, you can simply create your own template. If you need help you can open an issue, I would gladly help.

Feel the same way about favicons?

[–] TheBigRoomXXL@leminal.space 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I have thought about it but I don't think it's possible because of CORS. Every site would need to have Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * on there favicon for it to work. Usually this would be sidestep by a proxy in the backend but the goal of tinyfeed is to be a static page generator, not a full HTTP server. Sorry 😔.

Makes sense.

I got it working, thanks! I think I found a minor bug though. I could only get the --template flag to work when the file is in the current working directory. Subdirectories and absolute directories didn't work. I worked around this by simply cding into where my template was stored before running tinyfeed.

Even tinyfeed -i feeds.txt -o index.html -t ./template.html (with ./) results in:

fail to output HTML: fail to render HTML template: template: "./template.html" is an incomplete or empty template

Indeed it's a bug. I have opened an issue and I will try to fix it when I have some time
