Web Reader

A minimal web reader for following web feeds.

This project is intentionally not designed to be a real-time reader. Rather, it is designed to retrieve content in intervals (i.e. every hour, every day).

Web Reader supports the following feed formats:

  • RSS
  • Atom
  • JSON Feed
  • microformats2

Only posts published in the last two days will be displayed in the feed reader.

Installation

First, clone this repository and install the required dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/capjamesg/web-reader
cd web-reader
pip install -r requirements.txt

Then, update feeds.txt with the URLs of the feeds you want to follow.

Every feed should be on its own line in feeds.txt.

To poll for new posts, run:

python3 poll.py

To generate a site from the posts, run:

aurora build

Your feed will be available at _site/index.html.

This project uses the Aurora static site generator to generate web pagea. You can customise the site to your requirements. Reference material for Aurora is available on the Aurora documentation website.
