Its README frames the project around local ownership, offline reading, OPML import/export, themes, hooks, and a Markdown directory structure under the user's local data directory. The 2025-2026 release notes show rapid early iteration: v0.1.9 added a directory-reporting command and OPML import/export, v0.2.0 added Read Later support, and early 2026 releases refined metadata handling and UI feedback. ### Adoption history Adoption is still early but visible in Unix package channels: the official README lists Homebrew, Arch, Nix, NetBSD, Snap, Cargo, and prebuilt GitHub releases. That pattern fits a terminal-first Rust utility whose audience discovers tools through package managers and TUI communities. ### How it is used Typical use starts by adding RSS or Atom feeds with the CLI, then running the TUI to synchronize, browse categories, read entries, and open links externally. The project stores feed content as Markdown so users can back up, sync, search, or process the feed library with ordinary file tools. ### Why package nerds care bulletty is notable less for ecosystem scale than for its data model: it treats RSS as a local, file-oriented workflow similar to an Obsidian vault. For package-history purposes it is an example of the modern Rust TUI wave combining Ratatui-style interfaces, XDG-style data directories, and package-manager distribution. ### Timeline - 2025-05: Public GitHub repository created. - 2025-09: v0.1.7 released during early public development. - 2025-10: v0.1.9 added directory reporting and OPML import/export. - 2025-11: v0.2.0 added Read Later support. - 2026-02: v0.2.2 release notes described themes, notifications, and continued bug fixes. ### Related projects - Related package-manager neighbors include Newsboat and other terminal feed readers, plus Markdown-backed personal knowledge tools. Its implementation and packaging also connect it to the Ratatui/Rust TUI ecosystem. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
