Author of the program here (with the help of a hand full of contributors by now). Thanks for the kind words.
Just to clarify a few things: the rewrite wasn't just for the sake of using a different language. FeedReader was the first big program I've written and it wasn't very clear from the beginning what it would end up being. So I started fresh with a clear vision and more knowledge about programming. That meant I could also pick a new language if I wanted. And so far I think it has payed off.
2nd, the AUR version is a bit out of date. With flathub you'll always get the newest version on release day. AUR is already 2 versions behind now.

Imo an rss reader must live in the browser. You-re reading web pages so that makes the most sense when you need to go to the original source. I imagine that people who use desktop or terminal rss readers don-t follow a lot of news sources with video and images, because otherwise they-re very clunky to use

Does anyone actually read RSS feeds? Maybe it's something I need to learn about.. I'll add elfeed to my emacs and have a play. I'm not convinced yet that my life will be any more positive for the experience though.

This really makes me wanna start using RSS. I've never been using it before, but it seems a lot better organized than most of the news sites nowadays. Also I could handpick the topics I am interested in.

User experience is most of the time better with gui than console. I don't understand why this guy uses console apps. I only use them if I have to, like sshing servers or creating shell scripts.

I recently started using RSS and went with Newsboat. It does everything I need and it works within the terminal (which is always a plus in my book).

It only gathers stuff when the PC is on. Am I supposed to never turn off my PC or is there a switch I can flip somewhere ?
