terminal applications
i finally found an rss reader i like, newsboat! i've been looking for a bunch of basic tools i can use from my terminal, and an rss reader is up there on the list of importance. i've been learning how to use vim for the past couple months and i feel like i'm getting there, but i'm nowhere close to power user. i also want to move to using smol.pub and midnight.pub solely from the terminal (which i can do now, because i've added the feeds to my reader). let me know if you've got any other tools i should check out!

going all in on rss has been a ton of fun. I mostly read on my phone or ereader but newsboat is a reliable favorite.
yeah I feel that with vim, I could probably use it for the rest of my life and still feel like I am barely scratching the surface. been trying to use it without doing much research until ive identified something I want to try with it. Recently switched to neovim with fennel for my scripting language and conjure to evaluate parts of a script w/o the need to run the whole file.
I recommend toot if you are on mastodon as well for a nice tui experience, also spotify-tui if u have spotify premium.
hey ~jr! Definitely lynx, a CLI-based browser. Mutt for e-mail, should you want to use e-mail through the CLI. Spotify-TUI for listening that way, too.
I'm sort of becoming more CLI-centric, myself, but haven't jumped in too deep. Most things are still Firefox.
Stay well! Later!
