blogwatcher

A CLI feed reader monitors RSS and Atom feeds by adding blog URLs and running scans to fetch new articles. It automates feed discovery and aggregates updates locally, ensuring you track multiple sources without missing posts.

Yes, you can import OPML files for bulk subscription migration. This allows you to transfer existing feed subscriptions from another reader into the local SQLite storage, preserving your blog categories and sources during the migration process.

Automatic feed discovery uses HTML scraping as a fallback to extract RSS or Atom URLs from sites lacking explicit feed links. It parses website HTML structure to locate syndication endpoints, enabling monitoring of blogs without standard feed tags.

You filter unread articles by category using CLI list commands with category and read-state arguments. After scanning sources, apply filters to curate and review specific subsets of aggregated posts stored in the local SQLite database.

No, a separate database server is not needed because feed history uses persistent local SQLite storage. This embedded database keeps scanned articles, read states, and subscription data self-contained on your local machine without external dependencies.

You configure feed scanning behavior by setting environment variables that control CLI execution parameters. This customizes how the reader discovers feeds, imports OPML, and stores data in SQLite without modifying core application logic.
