Accessing RSS feeds in the terminal

Although browsers drove them to the brink of extinction, dedicated RSS readers are making a comeback, thanks in part to Firefox ending native support to read RSS feeds. If you prefer working on the terminal, whether because of the functionality, the speed or versatility, you’ll quickly become enamoured with Newsboat. Forked from Newsbeuter, the MIT-licensed project is available in the software repositories of most Linux distributions such as Fedora, Ubuntu, Arch, Debian and others.

As the tool depends on a handful of libraries such as libcurl, stfl. and other lightweight projects like pkgconfig and SQLite3, you can easily install by compiling it from source, on the off chance your distribution doesn’t offer it in the software repositories.
