mercury_fulltext

This plugin was forked from this repository and modified to use the Mercury command line application to retrieve the full text of articles instead of an API.

A Tiny Tiny RSS plugin written for tt-rss as a replacement for the grandpa-old plugin af_readability, which doesn't work well for many RSS sites I subscribe to.

It utilizes postlight/mercury-parser to extract the full content for feeds.

Some feeds may not render properly, if Mercury can't handle it. Eg. BBC video-only feeds.

Installation

1. Clone the repo into your tt-rss plugins folder.
2. Install NodeJS and NPM
   sudo apt install nodejs npm
3. Install Yarn
   sudo npm i -g yarn
4. Install Mercury Parser
   sudo yarn global add @postlight/mercury-parser

Configuration

The configuration is identical to af_readability.

1. Enable the plugin mercury_fulltext in Preferences/Plugins.
2. Configure for feeds under Plugins tab of the Edit Feed window (you can right click your feed to get there).
