Configure your news feed

Once installed, in order to start using tuifeed, the first thing you need to do is to configure the feeds you want to read from.

To open the configuration file you can run

tuifeed -c

this will open the configuration file in your favourite editor.

💡 If this option doesn't work for you, you can edit the file manually at:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tuifeed/config.toml on Linux

/Users/$USER/Library/Application\ Support/tuifeed/config.toml on MacOS

then you can add new sources as follows:

[sources]
"Cointelegraph" = "https://it.cointelegraph.com/rss"
"Corriere Della Sera" = "http://xml2.corriereobjects.it/rss/homepage.xml"
"Friuli Oggi" = "https://www.friulioggi.it/feed/"
"Il Piccolo" = "https://ilpiccolo.gelocal.it/rss/finegil/ilpiccolo/feed.rss"
"Il Post (Mondo)" = "https://www.ilpost.it/mondo/feed/"
"Il Post (Italia)" = "https://www.ilpost.it/italia/feed/"
"Messaggero Veneto" = "https://messaggeroveneto.gelocal.it/rss/finegil/messaggeroveneto/feed.rss"

so for each feed you want to read from, you must put an entry with a key, which identifies the Name of the source as it'll be displayed in the UI associated to the URL of the feed.

💡 If you want to use special characters in toml you can quote the key name: "Il Post (Mondo)" = "https://www.ilpost.it/mondo/feed/"

Once you're done with configuration, save, close and enjoy tuifeed 😄

Configure your display options

You can optionally configure some display options in the UI.

To open the configuration file you can run

tuifeed -c

this will open the configuration file in your favourite editor.

💡 If this option doesn't work for your, you can edit the file manually at:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tuifeed/config.toml on Linux

/Users/$USER/Library/Application\ Support/tuifeed/config.toml on MacOS

Then you can configure the following keys

[article-title]
show-author = false
show-timestamp = true

show-author: display the author name before the article title in the articles list
show-timestamp: display the timestamp before the article title in the articles list

The key order in the article list name is:

timestamp
author
title

Once you're done with configuration, save, close and enjoy tuifeed 😄
