refinements and new experiments

This release refines the skimmer experiment introducing an improved skim2md as well as an added tools html2skim which lets you take an HTML page contain links and treat it like a feed. Helpful for websites that don't provide a feed but do list links to articles or posts.

feed processing improvement

Added some sensitization between feed retrieval and before feed parse. Might be a good spot to hook in lua filters eventually.

Full Changelog: v0.0.6...v0.0.7

refinements and bug fixes

This release fixes a bug where relative URLs in an items' link were not expanded.

cleaning up code, bug fixes, focusing functionality

This release is about refining the proof of concept and see if this will be useful. In interactive mode the commands "supported" will be enter to move to next item, "n" to mark the current item read and move to the next item, "s" to make the current item saved and move to next item.

trimming features, writing up ideas

This is a further exploration of skimmer, a proof of concept, minimal feed reader. The "fetch" process is done anytime you invoke skimmer with a "urls" file. The read mode is done anytime you invoke with a ".skim" file. The interactive mode has been refined to just five actions. Press enter to move to next item without changing state, press "n" to mark an item as read, press "s" to save and item, "t" to tag and item and "q" to quit interactive mode.

exploring minimally interactive behavior

This release adds interactive usage and changes the expectations on the command line. If you want to fetch data you supply a .urls file, f you want to read your feeds you supply a .skim file. In interactive mode you can mark an item as read, saved, change the label or add tags.

Other tools can be used with the sqlite3 database items table to do further processing..

Exploration begins

This is a proof of concept release. The default skimmer command will no longer download content to read. You must use the -fetch option to do so. Fetching content can take a while so this feels like the way it should work.

Proof of concept

This is a proof of concept of a naively simple feed reader. It takes advantage of gofeed to read RSS, Atom and JSON feed urls by downloading and streaming their contents to standard out in reverse chronological order.
