historique

Historique du projet et usages

snownews is a text-mode RSS and Atom feed reader for Linux and other Unix-like systems. It belongs to the long-running family of terminal newsreaders that package managers keep around for users who prefer feed reading, OPML files, and keyboard navigation over web services.

Historique du projet

The official SourceForge code README says snownews was originally written by Oliver Feiler and describes it as a console RSS/Atom feed reader for Linux and other Unix platforms. The current SourceForge Git repository and release files show continued maintenance through the v1.11 release.

The project stores feed lists directly as OPML under `~/.config/snownews/urls.opml`, which makes the program unusually transparent for a feed reader: migration from another reader is just OPML export/import, and advanced users can edit files directly.

Historique d'adoption

SourceForge remains the official project and download home, while the input records packaging in Homebrew, Fedora/DNF, and MacPorts. That distribution pattern fits a small C/ncurses utility whose audience is mostly Unix terminal users.

Modes d'utilisation

Users run `snownews` in a terminal to fetch and read RSS or Atom feeds, import feeds from OPML, open full articles in a browser, customize keybindings and colors, and use cookies or credential-bearing feed URLs for feeds that require authentication.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Package nerds care because snownews is the kind of small, durable terminal program that package managers preserve well: C source, ncurses UI, OPML data files, no hosted account requirement, and configuration in editable dotfiles.

Chronologie

2023: SourceForge lists snownews 1.11 as the latest release.
2023: SourceForge README metadata was updated for the v1.11 release.
2026: SourceForge code browser still exposes the official Git repository.

Related projects

Related terminal feed readers include Newsboat and older console RSS/RDF readers; snownews also interoperates with other feed readers through OPML.
