About

Simple RSS/Atom reader written in Golang. Highly configurable and with themes.

Usage

Tarballs with prebuilt binaries for both Linux and OSX can be found under release page.

Just start by running either gorss_linux or gorss_osx binary from the tarballs.

You can also specify theme, configuration and database manually.

./gorss -config gorss.conf -theme default.theme -db mydb.db

If either the configuration or theme files are not specified, gorss will attempt to use$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gorss/gorss.conf and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gorss/themes/default.theme, respectively. These files will be created from the defaults if not present.

To build and run use the makefile.

make run

In order to cross-compile make release for Linux on OSX you need to install the following:

brew install FiloSottile/musl-cross/musl-cross

The database gorss.db will be automatically created in your systems 'Data Home' directory. You can specify which database to use with the argument -db to the binary.

Features

Configuration Example (Default config)

It's possible to specify configuration file as a flag, default is gorss.conf.

The configuration file can specify URLs of feeds as strings, or, if you want to customise the name of the feed as it is shown in your Gorss, as objects with url and name fields. (See the example below for supported options).

./gorss -config my.conf
