Ohhhhh I'm adding that as a filter for newsboat tonight. Instead of loading castrated headline + tagline stubs, then I'll be able to read the whole article in terminal without any of the commercials and "also see" BS. <3


I use it with newsboat myself, but I didn't know about the filters. I should really look into that.

I was just setting the BROWSER environment variable to a script that makes me choose if I want to open the article on rdrview (with lynx) or firefox.


I use newsboat too. Would you mind sharing the filter?


once I finish the daily workywork and get around to building it, sure why not? :P


bump :)


This is turning out to be a bit more involved. Mostly because I have no experience in generating rss...

Newsboat filters operate on the whole feed. So the script needs to read the input rss (cf feedparse) then retrieve the HTML (cf rdrview) and then generate rss errrr.... Feedparse doesn't do that last bit. And then add a layer of on disk caching because otherwise it would keep re-downloading all entries over and over again.

I'll get back to that tomorrow I guess. Now for shut-eye
