🦉 Bubo Reader (Fork)

This is a personal fork of the excellent Bubo Reader by George Mandis. I've made several opinionated changes to the setup, including replacing dependencies with more compact alternatives. Please see the original repository for deployment instructions.

Some changes I made:

  • Replace nunjucks with yeahjs
  • Replace node-fetch with httpie
  • Many styling changes, including using the :target CSS selector to switch between groups (inspired by https://john-doe.neocities.org/)
  • The build script now sorts the feeds in each group by which one has the latest updates (this greatly improves the experience, imo).
  • Dark mode via @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark)
